INGREDIENTS
1 medium red bell pepper
3 ounces lean ground turkey
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup black beans
2 tablespoons salsa
1/8 cup low-fat shredded cheese
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon cumin
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.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and black beans into the turkey, and add the lime juice and salsa. Allow the mixture to heat through for a couple of minutes.
Spoon the filling into the hollowed bell pepper, and top with the shredded low-fat cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 20-25 minutes until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted.
Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to lightly brown the cheese, then serve warm.
