Directions:
Remove seeds, core, and membrane from bell peppers then slice each one into 6 vertical pieces where they dip down. Set sliced bell peppers aside.

Cook ground turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until the turkey loses its pink color and is cooked through. Drain off any fat.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine cooked turkey with spices and salsa. Evenly distribute mixture into the bell pepper boats, top with cheese.

Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and peppers are hot.

Optional ingredients: sliced jalapeño peppers, diced avocado, fat-free Greek yogurt or sour cream, sliced green onions.

Personal Notes:
If you prefer much softer bell peppers, add a few tablespoons of water to the bottom of a large casserole dish, add filled nachos, cover tightly with foil, and bake 15 minutes.

This can also be used as a main course for a meal instead of an appetizer.
