Quinoa and Turkey stuffed peppers

Bell peppers were on sale this week so I wanted to make something with them for dinner. I stuffed these one's with Quinoa, lean ground turkey, onions, bell peppers, corn, and as you can see ooey gooey mozzarella cheese :)

It was delicious.

Even more delicious a couple days later as leftovers.







3 bell peppers (halved lengthwise and de-seeded, and save the top part you cut off-use whats around the steam to put into the mix)
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup cooked quinoa (so make a 1/2 cup batch)
1/2 yellow onion-chopped
1 package lean turkey
1 cup shredded skim/low fat mozzarella cheese

Pre-heat oven to 375

Cook you Quinoa, once done put it into a large bowl.

Saute the onion, bell pepper, and frozen corn in a little bit of olive oil. Then put into the bow . 
Cook up your turkey and add some spices! I did S & P, some cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can really use anything you like.
Once the meet is cooked put it in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. 

Mix it all up together, add a little more S & P if needed. Place your bell pepper halves in a lightly oiled Pyrex dish. Scoop the filling into the peppers-really fill them! Don't worry about it looking pretty it'll taste good enough to please all the senses! Once all the peppers are filled top them with the mozzarella cheese and place into the oven. I cooked them for around 20-25 min. Depending on how toasted you want your cheese you could leave them in for shorter or longer.
