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.

  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!
