INGREDIENTS
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Black Beans (no salt added)
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
2 tablespoons Diced Red Onion
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 ounce Reduced-Fat Shredded Cheese
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 teaspoon Lime Juice
1 tablespoon Cilantro
Spices (cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the red bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the diced red onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until it is browned and cooked through. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Drizzle in the lime juice and mix well. Allow the mixture to heat through for a couple of minutes.
Spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the hollowed pepper, packing it generously.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the pepper is tender.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded cheese on top, and return to the oven uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
