Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers are a new twist on an old classic rice stuffed green bell peppers. This version uses more spices, healthier ground meat and more veggies which also makes it a clean eating recipe.

  • 3 medium-large bell peppers (I used red, orange and yellow)
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup purple onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp. onion powder
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 cup sweet yellow corn, frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh salsa (You can find this in your produce department, make sure to try and use a clean variety)
  • 6 tbsp. shredded cheddar cheese
