Ingredients

  • 3 large Bell Peppers assorted colors for funzies
  • 1 1/2 C 368g Liquid Egg Whites (or 8 whole egg whites)
  • 1 C 114g Jimmy Dean Breakfast Turkey Sausage Crumbles*, optional (could swap for bacon as well)
  • 4 oz 1/2 block Fat-Free Cream Cheese, (could swap for 1/2 C Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 C 60g Salsa, optional
  • 1/2 C 56g Fat-Free Shredded Cheddar
  • 1 Jalapeno optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, heat pre-cooked turkey sausage over medium heat (2-3 minutes) before adding egg whites and reducing heat to low-medium. 
  • While egg whites and sausage cook, remove seeds and slice each bell pepper into 8 vertical slices (cut into quarters and then cut those in half, vertically). 
  • When the egg whites are no longer runny, add cream cheese and salsa. Stir until everything is blended evenly.
  • Lie pepper slices on a baking sheet and fill each "nacho boat" with egg white mixture. (I recommend pushing the pepper boats together before filling and slicing them with a knife post-baking to separate. This helps minimize spilling or run-off during cooking.)
  • Top with fat-free cheddar and jalapeno should you desire. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  • Serve warm and refrigerate leftover nacho boats for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

*If you wanted a homemade option, try my chicken breakfast sausage or pair ground turkey with my breakfast sausage seasoning recipe.
