INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Ground Turkey
1 medium Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cooked quinoa into the turkey mixture. Allow the flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the turkey mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, packing it firmly.
Top the stuffed 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 and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
