FIESTA STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Spray a medium, nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, partially covered and stirring often, until very soft, about 7 minutes. Increase heat to medium. Crumble in turkey and brown well. Drain off any fat. Add tomatoes, and simmer until juices evaporate, 7-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blanch peppers, in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain well. Place cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Combine hot meat mixture with rice and corn. Stir in egg and coriander. Divide mixture evenly between pepper halves, mounding as needed. Bake until peppers are softened, 10-15 minutes. Garnish with fat-free sour cream. Serve with spinach tossed with dressing.
