This meal comes in at about 320 calories, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fat and 47 grams of protein.The mini-peppers are full of vitamin C, and the cheese is a good source of calcium. I like the 99 percent fat-free turkey, because it helps keeps cholesterol levels low while packing in the protein.The recipe:Ingredients: 1/3 cup shredded lettuce 1/3 cup diced tomato 5 ounces 99 percent fat-free ground turkey 8 mini-peppers halved and seeds removed 1/4 cup Kraft natural cheese: 2 percent milk reduced-fat mozzarella Taco seasoning to taste 3/4 cups water Scallions for a topping/to tasteCook turkey over medium heat. Once turkey is cooked, add 3/4 cup water and taco seasoning, occasionally stirring until the ground turkey is coated in seasoning and the water has mostly evaporated.Put halved and cleaned mini peppers on a plate, with the insides facing up. Sprinkle 5 ounces ground turkey over peppers, followed by the lettuce, tomato, cheese and scallions. Put under a broiler or in a microwave to melt cheese, if desired. Andrija Novakovich Jersey .
