turkey stuffed green bell peppers on a tray

I LOVE ground turkey! When I saw this recipe in Oxygen Magazine’s May 2012 issue, I knew that I had to try it! This would make a great snack post workout or pop two of these as a meal a little later on in the day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but you may just want to spice them up a little more than the recipe calls for – my super spicy taste buds were yearning for a little more spice!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bell peppers
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey (preferably ground turkey breast or 97/3%)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 c chopped scallion
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp clean jarred tomato sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut bell peppers in half, discarding the seeds.
  2. In a large bowl, combine turkey, cooked quinoa, egg whites, scallion, and seasonings plus 1 tbsp of tomato sauce. Mix well.
  3. Stuff each pepper half with the mixture. Top with remaining tomato sauce. Bake for 45 minutes and serve.

Notes

  • 1 serving is 2 pepper halves
  • Add some additional spices – possibly some cayenne pepper to add some spice and flavor. You can also try a clean Arrabiata sauce for more of a kick instead of regular tomato sauce!
