INGREDIENTS
1 large bell pepper (150g)
4 ounces lean ground turkey
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup black beans, drained (130g)
1/4 cup diced onion (40g)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato sauce (60g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the inside with olive oil.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and black beans, followed by the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Stuff the bell pepper with the turkey-quinoa mixture, ensuring it is evenly filled.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pepper is tender.
Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to lightly brown the top, then serve warm.
