Stuffed Peppers

My husband found this recipe on the Biggest Loser website and we've made it many, many times!  It's a good one!

olive oil spray
1/2 cup onion, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 package extra lean ground turkey
salt, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 c tomato sauce (I use Hunts)
1/2 c low sodium chicken broth, divided
1 T fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
3 large red, green, yellow, or orange bell peppers
1/4 c reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil spray; heat over medium heat.  Add onion and garlic; saute two minutes or until softened.  Add ground turkey breast, salt, garlic powder, and cumin.  Break meat apart and cook over medium heat for 14-16 minutes, or until well done.  Add tomato sauce and 1/4 c chicken broth.  Reduce heat to low and simmer for about five minutes.  Add cilantro or parsley.  Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stem.  Place in baking dish.  Spoon 1/3 c of the turkey mixture into each pepper half.  Pour remaining 1/4 c chicken broth in the bottom of the baking dish.  Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.  Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
