  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • STUFFING
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1½ cups (10 ounces) of cooked quinoa
  • 1⅓ cups (5 ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup (4½ ounces) frozen peas
  • 1 cup (4½ ounces) frozen corn kernels

  • 4 cloves of minced garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon herbs de Provence or other savory seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. Add 1 Tablespoon of salt and the pepper halves. Cook for 3 minutes then remove and place cut side down on a clean dish towel.
  2. Combine the stuffing ingredients. Using clean paper towels, pat the pepper halves dry on the inside and out and then divide the stuffing evenly between the peppers.

  4. Serve with your favorite pesto, marinara or homemade ketchup.
Notes
Cook quinoa according to package directions. ½ cup of uncooked quinoa should yield approximately 1½ cups of cooked quinoa.
