INGREDIENTS
1 red bell pepper
6 oz extra lean ground turkey
1/4 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, reserve the top for presentation and dice it for extra filling.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. If you reserved the diced bell pepper top, add it now. Mix until well combined and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
Stuff the prepared bell pepper with the turkey-quinoa mixture, packing it firmly.
Place the stuffed pepper in a small baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
