INGREDIENTS
1 large bell pepper (150g)
4 ounces lean ground turkey
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
1/4 cup black beans (43g)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes (60g)
2 tablespoons diced onion (30g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)
1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheese (28g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. If needed, trim a small slice at the bottom so it stands upright.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, then sauté the diced onions until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the hollowed-out bell pepper. Top with a sprinkle of low-fat shredded cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
