INGREDIENTS
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (150g)
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa (140g)
0.5 cup Black Beans (130g)
0.25 cup Corn Kernels (40g)
0.25 cup Diced Tomatoes (60g)
0.25 cup Red Onion (40g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
3 oz Lean Ground Turkey (85g per ounce x3)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 Fresh Lime (44g)
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (2g)
1 tsp Cumin Powder (2.3g)
1 tsp Paprika (2.3g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped red onion and minced garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook thoroughly until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix well.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Add the cooked turkey mixture and gently fold everything together.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out bell pepper, packing it well.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish and cover it loosely with foil. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the pepper is tender.
Remove the foil, drizzle a little more lime juice on top for extra zest, and serve warm.
