Inspire by my Loaded Mini Bell Pepper Nachos, I spiced things up using jalapeno peppers filled with cream cheese and cheddar instead, before loading on all the toppings!

And with the Superbowl right around the corner, I’m excited to bring you another recipe that I created in partnership with Reynolds. If you’re having friends over to watch the big game, your friends will love this appetizer! And since I’m sure you’d rather be hanging out with them instead of hanging in the kitchen washing those extra pans, lining your sheet pan with foil is perfect for easy clean up!

I used Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil which is made of Heavy-Duty Foil with a Non-Stick coating added on one side (the dull side), which offers a heavier gauge aluminum foil than traditional Reynolds Wrap. It’s made with a food-safe non-stick coating that makes it easy to line pans and wrap your dishes without the added hassle of clean up or non-stick oils and sprays.

These are a little spicy, very flavorful and a little messy so you might want to serve them with some forks and napkins! They are gluten-free, low-carb and keto-friendly, and will be a crowd-pleaser for sure!

To Prep Ahead:

Make the turkey mixture and the cream cheese mixture in step 2 and step 3 and refrigerate. Continue with step 4 when ready to cook.

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded and membranes removed (use gloves)
  • 3 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese
  • 1 large scallions, green part only, sliced
  • 1/2 ounce shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • chopped scallions and cilantro, for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream plus 2 teaspoons water, for drizzling

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
  2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with oil. Add onion, cilantro and garlic and saute about 2 minutes, until soft.
