INGREDIENTS
1 large red bell pepper (150g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
3 oz lean ground turkey (85g)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (60g)
1/2 cup fresh spinach (15g)
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese (28g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the pepper aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground turkey. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
Add the diced tomatoes and fresh spinach to the skillet with the turkey. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts slightly.
Stir in the cooked quinoa to combine well with the turkey mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out bell pepper, packing it firmly. Top with low-fat 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 slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
