Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the dry quinoa, tomato puree, water, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Cover and simmer the mixture for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Spoon the turkey and quinoa mixture into the hollowed bell peppers and place them in the baking dish.
Bake for 20 minutes until the peppers are soft and the tops are slightly golden.
