📋 Ingredients🧄🧅🥥🍎
1 lb ground turkey (85-95% lean)
¾–1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed well
1¼ cups chicken stock (for cooking quinoa)
6 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles (like Rotel)
½ cup diced onion or shallots
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp chili powder, salt & pepper to taste
½–1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or smoked gouda), divided
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions 🧉🍴🥣
1️⃣ Prep the Quinoa
Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove bitter saponins
Combine quinoa and chicken stock in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 15–17 minutes until the liquid is absorbed
Fluff with a fork and set aside
2️⃣ Cook the Turkey & Veggies
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, 5–6 minutes
Add onion, garlic, and spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder). Sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant
Stir in black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Simmer 3–5 minutes to blend flavors
3️⃣ Prep the Peppers (Optional but recommended)
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
Blanch pepper halves for 4–5 minutes until slightly tender and vibrant
Remove with tongs and place cut-side up in a greased 9x13" baking dish
4️⃣ Stuff & Bake
Mix cooked quinoa into the turkey-veggie mixture. Stir in half the cheese and cilantro
Generously fill each pepper half with the mixture (~½–¾ cup each)
Top with remaining cheese
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–35 minutes, until peppers are tender and cheese is bubbly
Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden, crisp top
