INGREDIENTS
1 large bell pepper
3 ounces ground turkey (lean, 93%)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons red onion, diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If desired, lightly blanch the pepper in boiling water for 3 minutes to soften slightly, then drain.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and black beans. Fold in the turkey mixture until evenly distributed.
Spoon the filling into the prepared bell pepper, packing it generously.
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 filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
