Turkey Parmesan Stuffed Peppers

Step 1

Set the oven to 400°F. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook about 3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook another minute or so, until fragrant. Add ground turkey and use the back of your spoon to smash it into pieces. Season with salt, the granulated garlic, oregano, parsley, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until turkey is mostly cooked through.

Step 2

Add 1 ½ cups of the marinara sauce sauce, mix well, and simmer for about 3 minutes, until the turkey is completely cooked through. Turn off heat, stir in cooked quinoa, parmesan cheese and 2 tsp red wine vinegar. Taste, add more vinegar if it needs to be punchier, more salt if it needs to be saltier.

Step 3

Season the bell peppers with a bit of olive oil and salt. Spread remaining marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Arrange bell peppers on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon some of the turkey mixture into each pepper half, there is plenty of it so be generous, and top each with a heaping spoonful of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Cover baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly, the cheese has melted and the peppers are tender.
