Instructions

1 Pre-heat oven to 350’°
2 While the oven is pre-heating work on the filling for the peppers. First heat a
large saute pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot add the oil, then
immediately add the diced onions and jalapenos to the pan. Cook them in the oil
for 3 minutes.
3 After 3 minutes add the ground turkey to the pan. Season the turkey with the
black pepper and garlic powder. Using a heavy spatula, break up the ground
turkey into smaller pieces, mixing in with the onions and jalapenos. Cook
stirring frequently and continuing to break up the turkey for 7 minutes.
4 After 7 minutes add the chopped kale and taco sauce packet to the ground turkey
mixture. Stir everything together until well combined. Then put the lid on the
pan, turn the heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
5 Remove the lid and scoop the turkey and kale mixture into each of the cored bell
peppers. Place stuffed peppers into a baking dish, standing up. The baking dish
should be small enough to hold the peppers tight and standing up.
6 In a small bowl mix together the chicken base and water. Then pour 1 tbsp
chicken base liquid over top/into each of the stuffed peppers. (If you do not
have chicken base, substitute 1/4 cup chicken stock instead of the chicken base
and water.) The liquid adds a little moisture and prevents the turkey from
drying out while baking.
7 Bake at 350’° for 20 minutes.
8 After 20 minutes, remove from the oven, serve and enjoy. Or portion out for this
weeks meals!
