I love ground turkey replacing a heavy beef flavor but this recipe isbgreatvwith whatever ground meat you prefer!! Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Cook bacon until crispy and able to be crumbled. Drain and set aside on a paper towel.

Step 2

Use bacon drippings OR Warm EVOO in the skillet, then add turkey and brown. While browning add salt and pepper to taste. I use italian seasoning or something spicy for flavor, and add garlic to meat about halfway through the browning process.

Step 3

Once meat is browned add cream cheese and stir until melted and combined. Fold in crumbled bacon.

Step 4

While meat and cheese are combining, cut pepper in half and clean out seeds.

Step 5

Stuff pepper halves with mixture and then top with shredded cheese. Place in oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

NOTE: We like our peppers chrispy and fairly raw, if you like them softer prebake them with a little EVOO for about 10 minutes before stuffing them.
