Ingredients:
One onion
One small jalapeno pepper an d/or green chili pepper, if desired
Two large cloves garlic
One teaspoon Salt
One teaspoon oregano
One teaspoon cumin (optional)
One 20 oz. package ground turkey (you may use ground beef if you prefer, or leave out the meat of you are vegetarian and instead use cooked rice or grains)
Two 14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes
One 15.5 oz can of black beans
One package frozen sweet corn, thawed, or 14.5 oz can of sweet corn, drained
one package ( 1.25 oz.) taco seasoning.
6 - 8 nice big peppers with flat bottoms so they will stand, cleaned, tops cut off, seeds removed and softened by parboiling them or microwaving them until slightly soft ..... about 8 - 10 minutes.
Step 1 --prepare peppers and drain well. Place in greased casserole dish and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic and saute in olive oil until translucent, and add hot peppers if desired.
Add the turkey to skillet and brown thoroughly. Then add the tomatoes and stir well. Simmer until tomatoes begin to soften. Add one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of oregano and the taco seasoning package. Mix well and simmer for 5 -10 minutes.
Add the can of black beans and the defrosted sweet corn and mix well.
Simmer another 5 -10 minutes until most of the juice that has collected has been reduced. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if desired. I sometimes add a teaspoon of cumin at this time as I like that flavor -- you can add more of whatever seasonings you like in your chili at this time.
I also roasted diced cauliflower, diced zucchini and mushrooms that were tossed with olive oil which was seasoned with some diced garlic, salt and pepper, and some dried basil, oregano and rosemary flakes. A couple of teaspoons of a good Italian seasoning blend would do, too! I placed them in another casserole dish and roasted them in the oven at the same time as the peppers, to serve as a side dish.
It was a delicious low fat, low calorie, high fiber meal, full of flavor!

While I was in Key West last week I won Lisa of Lisa's Retro Style September give away! It was this vintage penguin salt and pepper pair, "Willie and Millie"!
Don't they make the perfect pair? They are sitting on my kitchen cookbook shelf, and seem to like living in Brooklyn, NY, now. Thanks Lisa, they make me smile!

My first visit to your blog and I find that fabulous recipe! Wonderful!
That looks amazing...and so nutritious!!
I'm glad Millie and Willie are happy in their new digs...and that they are making you smile!!!
This is a fantastic recipe! Nice post!
Looks delicious, Pat.

I'm not a pepper fan, but I must say you made THOSE peppers look VERY very yummy. :) Now, I'm hungry!
This recipe is a keeper for when the peppers go on sale here. I anxiously await...

Hi Pat,
What I wouldn't give to live next door and smell all the delicious aromas that must come wafting out your windows.This looks like a hearty but easy meal that I may have to try. If I do I'll let you know how it turns out.
Have a fun week!

P.S. I came to claim my award and the rules that go with it :)!
My husband would absolutely love this recipe! You'll never believe that I have Willie & Millie too-LOL. I collect Salt n Pepper shakers (3rd generation collector).
Your stuffed peppers sound yummy. I used to make a meatloaf type version. I'm going to have to try your recipe next time I have company.
YUM! That looks so good. Of course without the meat and rice added for me though. I'm going to give this a try too. I still need to get my pasta machine out and do the basil pasta. I've been so lazy with cooking.
Oh you are so lucky! I loved those little salt and pepper shakers.
Hugs,
Joanne
