INGREDIENTS
1 medium red bell pepper
4 ounces lean ground turkey
1/2 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, lightly char the inside under a broiler or over an open flame to achieve a fire-roasted flavor.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is nearly fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and diced tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 2 minutes.
Fold in the black beans and cooked quinoa until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, packing it generously.
Place the stuffed pepper in an oven-safe dish and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
