INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey (93% lean)

2 oz Neufchatel cheese

0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt

8 medium jalapeños

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh chives

1 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey, cooking until fully browned and broken into small crumbles.

• 3

  While the turkey cooks, slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and white membranes.

• 4

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, softened Neufchatel cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and chopped chives.

• 5

  Stir the filling mixture until it is smooth and the turkey is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese base.

• 6

  Spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture into each jalapeño half, pressing down slightly to ensure they are well-filled.

• 7

  Place the stuffed peppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through and slightly browned on top.
