1cupvegetable stock (vegetable broth or vegetable bouillon) - low-sodium
1cupquinoa - dry
1tablespoonolive oil - extra virgin
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan, begin preparing quinoa following the directions on the package.
While the quinoa is cooking, begin to sauté your vegetables in olive oil.
After the vegetables have cooked down a bit, add the turkey and begin to sauté. Once the turkey has had some time to cook, pour in the tomato sauce and about half of the vegetable broth and allow it all to simmer together until most of the liquid has reduced, and the turkey is fully cooked through.
Leave the mixture to simmer and begin to prepare your bell peppers.
Core the middle by removing the top and the seeds in the middle. Place the peppers side by side in a greased baking dish with the openings facing upwards.
Once the quinoa is finished, add it to the turkey and vegetable mixture, combine them together and then stuff your peppers. You want them to be really full.
Pour the remaining amount of vegetable broth in the pan around the peppers.
Cover them with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Serve them hot out of the oven and enjoy!
Notes
If you want to add cheese to the peppers, just sprinkle on top before placing it into the oven.
