Ingredients

• 16 jalapenos sliced lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed
• 2 (8 oz) packages 1/3 fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 12 oz lower fat, finely shredded Mexican cheese, divided
• 1 Tablespoon chile powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Directions

• Prepare jalapenos while wearing gloves and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, add cream cheese, mayo, half of the Mexican cheese, chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne, salt, oregano and black pepper. Use a hand mixer to fully combine the ingredients. In a large nonstick skillet, cook turkey over medium heat until fully done and broken into crumbles. Stir into cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Fill each jalapeno slice with a scoop of cream cheese-sausage mixture, mounding each one slightly. Top stuffed jalapenos with remaining cheddar cheese. Arrange stuffed jalapenos on a large, rimmed baking tray that has been covered in aluminum foil (for easy clean-up). Bake for 25 minutes in the top third of the oven or until cheese is browned nicely on top. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
