The more "safe" an investment is, the lower the return is going to be. To make 15% you need to buy stocks that have a bit of risk involved.
I would suggest you take a look at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site where you can see what the best traders are investing in. You can also create your own portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. The site will rank each portfolio, so you can see how your picks compare to other traders.
One investor called "magicformula" invests in stocks that follow "The Little Book that Beats the Market" by Joel Greenblatt - these are stocks that have a low Price/Earnings multiple, but also make a good return-on-capital. This is what I think of as "safe" investments.
Here is his portfolio:

Good Luck!

15% in a safe investment the answer does not exist. The more you want to make the higher the risk. What you need to do is hedge your investment. There is still risk involved but the return could be quite nice if you follow the program and it teaches you how to hedge your risk. Watch the product video on www.freedominforex.com

Your expectations are unrealistic, or you have not defined your terms. What do you consider "safe?"
Here you will find "safe" investments.
Treasury Direct

Savings bonds:

Treasury notes

T-bills

You will probably not find anything "safe" even close to 10%, although the current interest rate in Iceland is 12.5%
Most stocks are generally considered speculative, and not "safe." But you give no further specifics of what you are interested in, so I can't speculate.

Consider researching your own companies... right here on Yahoo! Finance. I have found some solid performers this way. Go to: http://screen.finance.yahoo.com/stocks.html

How much do you owe on your credit cards?
That would be the starting point. Some charge +20%
