  • ¼ teaspoon smoked salt (optional to taste)

  • FOR THE CAULIFLOWER RICE BLEND:

  2. In a saute pan, cook the turkey with the onion, garlic, 1 chipotle pepper, cumin and paprika until fully cooked.
  3. Place rice in a saucepan with the cauliflower, diced tomatoes and 1 chipotle chile. Simmer 20 minutes.
  4. Toss cauliflower rice blend with the cooked turkey to combine the filling.
  5. Scoop filling into each pepper half and place into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish or split into two smaller baking dishes.
  6. Extra filling can be spread on the bottom of the baking dish around the stuffed peppers.
