This balanced dish is bursting with flavors from diced tomatoes, onions, and garlic, and topped with a sprinkle of low-fat cheese for a satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium Bell Pepper
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 small Onion
1 Garlic clove
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the pepper with olive oil inside and out.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until they become translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and diced tomatoes, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the hollowed bell pepper.
Top the stuffed bell pepper with part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
