- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add turkey, stir every couple of minutes, and cook until only ½ of it is pink.

- Mix in the can of beans once the liquids have simmered down
- Put the mixture in the bell peppers and bake for another 10-15 minutes. *The photo is from after cooking the meat, but before baking all of it together again.
- After you take them out of the oven, top with a bit of cilantro (optional), or chives.
**If you aren’t sensitive to dairy, you can also add a teaspoon of a fat-free, high protein yogurt, like Siggi’s.
