Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Add the ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks, until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
5
Season the turkey with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute more to bloom the spices, then remove from heat.
6
Halve the bell peppers, remove seeds and membranes, then cut into wide scoop-like pieces. Arrange cut-side up on the baking sheet.
7
Spoon the turkey mixture over the pepper pieces and top evenly with the shredded Mexican cheese.
8
Bake until the peppers are just tender and the cheese is fully melted, 5-10 minutes.
9
Top with sour cream, avocado, tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro. Serve right away.
