Cheeseburger Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
"I used a jar of salsa with a pound of ground turkey instead of ground beef and instead of the taco seasoning mix. It was terrific. I also skipped the tablespoon of olive oil. I also added some panko bread crumbs on top. Recipe courtesy of The Recipe Critic. Serving size is estimated."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
