Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 6 thinly sliced green onions

- 1 lb. fat free ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin

Instructions:
Heat oil and add garlic, jalapeño and the white parts of the green onions. Cook and stir for about a minute. Add ground turkey and chili powder and cumin. Cook completely. Remove from heat and stir in the salsa. Slice the ends off the mini peppers and slice length-wise in two. Remove the seeds and ribs. Press each half open so they are as flat as possible without breaking. Arrange on a large baking sheet. Spoon nacho mixture evenly into each pepper. Sprinkle with black olives and shredded cheese.
