I recently read about Quinoa, and I decided to replace the rice in the usual stuffed peppers recipe with it and see how it would taste. So I stuffed the peppers with ground turkey and Quinoa. The result was a tasteful dish low in calories and full of protein, vitamins and fibres.

Baking the peppers

  • Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds.

  • Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

You can use any pepper colour you prefer. I used yellow, red and orange as they taste sweeter to me.
