Clean Eating Slow-Cooker Stuffed Peppers

This one turned out really yummy.  I will definitely make this again.

Ingredients

2 cans of diced tomatoes (I like to use the one with the chili peppers already in there)
1 cup of chopped yellow onion
3 cloves of minced garlic
3 tsp of chili powder
3 tsp of ground cumin
1 tsp of oregano
Garlic powder to taste
1 cup of fresh cilantro
1 lb of lean ground turkey
1 yellow zucchini chopped
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and sliced
1 can of black beans
4 bell peppers (I used green)

Directions

1) In a food processor blend diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 of the zucchini, 1 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of cumin, oregano, and 1/2 of the cilantro until smooth.  Pour half of the mixture into the slow cooker and set the other half aside.

2) In a food processor mix 2 tsp of chili powder, 2 tsp of cumin, the rest of the zucchini, 1 clove of garlic, the rest of the onion, and the rest of the cilantro with a 1/2 cup of water until blended.  Transfer this mixture to a bowl and add the turkey and black beans.  Add garlic powder to taste and mix together.  (If you want to make this recipe slightly less "clean" you can add 2 cups of shredded pepper jack cheese to the mixture also).

3) Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds  Place the bell peppers in the slow cooker on top of the tomato mixture.

4) Fill each bell pepper to the top with the turkey mixture.  Top each with a slice of jalapeno and pour the rest of the tomato mixture on top of the stuffed peppers.

5) Cover and cook for 6 hours.

Enjoy!
