  • 4 medium green peppers
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1-1/4 pounds extra-lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 package (7 ounces) shredded cheddar-flavored soy cheese
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes

Directions

  • Cut peppers in half lengthwise and discard seeds. In a large kettle, cook peppers in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
  • In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the turkey, cumin, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.
