INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/3 cup Dry Quinoa
1 large Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup diced Yellow Onion
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the dry quinoa with water (follow package instructions) and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, slice the red bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Stir in the cumin, salt, and pepper.
Mix in the tomato paste and the cooked quinoa into the turkey mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Spoon the turkey and quinoa mixture into the prepared bell pepper halves, packing the filling firmly.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
