INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Diced Yellow Onion
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 cup Chopped Spinach
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the pepper aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, for about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, and chopped spinach. Allow the mixture to heat through for another 2-3 minutes, seasoning with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs as desired.
Spoon the turkey and quinoa mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, packing it neatly.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish. Top with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bell pepper is tender and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
