Loaded Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

Step 1
Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water and set aside. Slice a thin piece from the bottom of each pepper to stop peppers from rolling onto their sides when baking.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Drop each pepper carefully into the water and boil 2 minutes. Remove peppers from water and place in the bowl of ice water.

Step 3
Cook turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 3 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, ranch-flavored seasoning, and garlic.

Step 4
Remove peppers from water and drain. Fill each pepper with sausage mixture, forming a mound. Place filled peppers on a baking sheet; place in the freezer until just frozen, about 20 minutes.

Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 6
Mix bread crumbs with butter. Press into the top of the sausage filling.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden brown and cheese starts to bubble, 25 to 30 minutes.
