- 3/4 cup (175mL) Nordica 2%

- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup (125mL) walnuts, chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb (453g) Lean ground turkey
- 1 cup (250mL) fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup (50mL) sun dried tomatoes, drained from oil
- 1/4 cup (50mL) green olives, pitted, crushed
- 1/4 cup (50mL) sodium reduced chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (125mL) Mozzarella, grated

Instructions
- Stir sliced red onion with apple cider vinegar and sugar in a bowl, set aside.
- In a small food processor, blend Nordica Cottage Cheese until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- To the same food processor add 1 ½ tbsp. olive oil, parsley, oregano, garlic and walnuts, pulse until finely chopped. Mix into smooth cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
- Heat oven to 450F. Halve the peppers lengthways, then remove the seeds and core but keep the stalks on. Rub the peppers with olive oil and season well with pepper. Put onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper cut side down and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a large sauté pan over a high heat. Sear turkey for 8 minutes, stirring to break up the chunks. Add spinach and chicken broth. Cook for another 10 minutes until the liquid is almost gone. Remove from heat and stir in sundried tomatoes, olives, pickled onions, and half of the herb cottage cheese.
- Remove the peppers from the oven and flip them over. Fill them with as much of the mixture as you can. Mix grated cheese with remaining herb cottage cheese and spoon onto the tops of each pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. Turn the oven to the ‘hi’ broil setting and roast until cheese starts to turn a golden brown, 1- 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the peppers onto a plate. Sprinkle with fresh herbs for garnish. Enjoy with a side salad.
