I really like stuffed peppers.
I found this recipe on Skinnytaste and had to give it a try.

Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed PeppersSkinnytaste.com Servings: 6 • Serving Size: 1/2 pepper • Old Points: 3 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 160 • Fat: 3 g • Carbs: 19 g • Fiber: 4 g • Protein: 15.5 g • Sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 119 (without salt)
Ingredients:
For the filling:
• 1/2 lb 99% lean ground turkey
• 3/4 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 3/4 cups frozen corn
• 1 hot pickled serrano pepper, chopped (or jalepeño) more to taste
• 1 large diced tomato
• 1 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp chopped onion
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
• 1 tsp cumin
• kosher salt to taste
For the peppers:
• 3 red bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise
• 1/3 cup reduced sodium, fat free chicken broth
• 9 tbsp shredded reduced-fat Sargento Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tbsp chopped scallions, for garnish
Directions:
In a large skillet brown the turkey and season with salt. When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 20 minutes. Remove lid, add corn and simmer an additional 5 minutes or until all the liquid reduces.
Preheat oven to 350°. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, removing seeds and stem. Place peppers, cut side up in an oven-proof dish. Fill each pepper with 1/2 cup turkey mixture. Pour about 1/3 cup water or chicken broth on the bottom of the dish. Cover tight with foil. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until the peppers become soft.
Remove foil, top each with 1 1/2 tbsp of cheese and bake uncovered an additional 5 minutes. Top with scallions and serve with reduced-fat sour cream if desired (optional).

I rarely make a recipe as it is written.
I didn't have a tomato or a serrano or jalapeno pepper
so I used a can of Rotel Chile.

It was yummy and looks nice on the fall table!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
