Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brown the ground turkey and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Add the taco seasoning and half a cup of water. Simmer the mixture for 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat. While the taco meat simmers, wash six bell peppers, cut them in half across the center, and remove the seeds. Transfer the meat from the skillet to a large mixing bowl. Add the black beans, sweet corn, and diced tomato, and stir to combine. Arrange the pepper halves on a baking sheet, and divide the filling evenly between halves. Bake the stuffed peppers for 30-35 minutes until tender. Remove the peppers from the oven, top each half with a tablespoon of shredded cheese, and bake an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve the tacos hot, or store them in the fridge up to one week, reheating in the oven or microwave.
