These Mini Bell Pepper Turkey Nachos are a delicious snack or dinner that is both filling and delicious. With very few ingredients, these can be made quickly for a nutritious meal that is Paleo and full of healthy nutrients. Enjoy!
For whatever reason, I’ve recently been craving ground turkey. While it is a fairly strange commitment, I never been able to tackle many tasty recipes with this healthy meat, but I’ve been wanting to give it another shot. While a delicious snack, these Mini Bell Pepper Turkey Nachos were perfect for a dinner that filled us up and made us feel comfortable with our healthy decisions.
Prepping for an early dinner post-workout, Ray and I made these in under 30 minutes. Paired with a glass of wine, they were the ideal way to bring a protein into our diet without bringing in too many unhealthy carbs or “bad” calories like some of our go-to taco nights. These will definitely be in our usual rotation as of today!
