Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
4 large ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
1/4 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a paper towel, pat halved tomatoes dry and place cut-side up on the baking sheet.
3. In a bowl, mix ground turkey, diced onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey mixture until browned, 5-7 minutes.
5. Divide turkey mixture among the tomato cups, packing firmly to hold juicy liquid.
6. Season with salt and pepper, then top with mozzarella, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, and a drizzle of lime juice throughout.
Notes
Season turkey mixture to taste after cooking if preferences vary.
Jalapeño can be removed for a milder heat.
Serve immediately or store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
