INGREDIENTS
1 red bell pepper (150g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
3/4 cup black beans (195g)
1/4 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes (60g)
1/4 cup corn kernels (38g)
4 oz lean ground turkey (113g)
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (28g)
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the red bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds, keeping one half aside for serving if desired, or using the entire pepper for a larger stuffing.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
Once the turkey is nearly cooked through, add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and corn kernels. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and black beans. Add the turkey mixture to this bowl and stir well.
Fill the prepared bell pepper with the quinoa and turkey mixture, packing it tightly.
Top the stuffed pepper with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper on a baking dish and bake for 18-20 minutes until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
