Stuffed Red Peppers For Dinner

Here's gluten-free, dairy-free option for dinner.

It's easy to make!

And you can probably get kids to help out. This gives them more touchpoints 🤚 with food, making it easier for them to try new things.

Here's the simple recipe...

Ingredients:

• 4 large bell peppers, halved and deseeded
• 1 cup quinoa, cooked (1/2 cup dry quinoa with 1 cup water)
• 1 lb ground organic turkey
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
• Add ground turkey, cook until browned. Stir in tomatoes, cooked quinoa, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Fill bell pepper halves with the turkey-quinoa mixture.
• Place stuffed peppers in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes

Notes from my video:

💟 I did not use the garlic and onion due to a current allergy to these. If you use it (and I recommend you do!), cook that prior to adding the turkey to the pan.

💟 I only used 2 red peppers, as I didn't want to make the full recipe. For a whole family, do make the entire recipe.

💟 I did use the full pound of ground turkey and the full cup of quinoa and had extras of those.

💟 Adapt the recipe to your family's tastes! Maybe adding beans (like white northern or canellini), zucchini or carrots would taste good to you!
