Ingredients

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Halve bell peppers lengthwise, remove seeds, and place cut-side up in a baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown ground turkey, breaking it apart. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened.
Stir in cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Spoon the turkey-quinoa mixture into the pepper halves. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until peppers are tender.

Make extra quinoa ahead of time for quick assembly, or swap for brown rice if preferred.
These peppers store well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, making them excellent for meal prepping.
