INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground turkey

4 large jalapeño peppers

0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 tbsp almond flour

1 large egg

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Place the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles.

• 3

  Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and membranes.

• 4

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt until well incorporated.

• 5

  Spoon the turkey mixture into each jalapeño half, pressing down slightly to ensure the filling is secure.

• 6

  In one small shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth; in a second shallow bowl, mix the almond flour with the smoked paprika.

• 7

  Dip the stuffed side of each pepper first into the egg wash and then firmly into the almond flour mixture to create a crust.

• 8

  Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peppers are tender.
