Ingredients

• 4 large bell peppers (any color)

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Olive oil for cooking

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.

  

• In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned.

• Stir in the spinach, quinoa (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted and everything is well combined.

• Stuff the bell peppers with the turkey mixture and place them in the baking dish. Top with shredded cheese, if desired.

  

• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
