INGREDIENTS
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (120g)
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (113g)
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa (43g)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/4 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/4 cup Diced Onion (40g)
1 clove Minced Garlic (3g)
1 tsp Dried Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and carefully remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and tomato sauce, and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.
Fill the hollowed bell pepper with the turkey and quinoa mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
