INGREDIENTS
1 large Red Bell Pepper (~150g)
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey (~85g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (~92g)
1/4 cup Black Beans (~43g)
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (~28g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 small Onion (~70g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove seeds, keeping the pepper whole for stuffing.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped small onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to heat through and blend flavors for 2-3 minutes.
Carefully spoon the filling into the hollowed bell pepper until well-stuffed.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and cover loosely with foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top, and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
