Ingredients

• 12 jalapeno peppers
• 1/2 lb lean ground turkey
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
• 1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Directions

1. Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise, leaving stems intact; discard seeds. Set aside. In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook turkey and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1/3 cup cheese, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in turkey mixture. Spoon generously into pepper halves.

3. Place in a 15×10×1-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 20 minutes for a spicy flavor, 30 minutes for medium and 40 minutes for mild.
