INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 large Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Black Beans
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Diced Onion
1 tsp Minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If preferred, you can also cut the pepper in half lengthwise for easier stuffing.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced tomatoes to the turkey mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and allow the flavors to meld for another minute.
Spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, packing it generously.
Place the stuffed pepper on a baking dish and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
