INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Black Beans
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Chopped Yellow Onion
1/8 cup Shredded Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, lightly brush the outside with a small splash of water or oil to keep it moist while baking.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until the turkey is fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture warm through for about 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
Spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the hollowed bell pepper, pressing it in gently. Top with a sprinkle of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper on a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to lightly brown. Serve warm.
