Super Stuffed Peppers

These peppers are absolutely delicious and almost guilt free! You will absolutely love this dish. They are great served straight out of the oven, and equally as good reheated.

Ingredients -

• 6 Peppers (cut off top and bottom and use them)
• 1 pound lean ground turkey meat
• 1 cup Quinoa (cooked)
• 1/2 cup scallions
• 1/2 cup onions
• 2 cups jarred tomato sauce
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 2 tsp Tabasco
• 2.5 tsp Worchester
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp fresh thyme
• 1/3 cup feta cheese (plus some for the top of the peppers)
• Parsley for garnish

Directions -

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
• Cook quinoa per directions on the bag (one cup of grain to 2 cups of water). Boil then simmer until the water is absorbed. (Substitution - boil quinoa in one cup low sodium chicken stock, one cup of water).
• Crumble turkey meat with wooden spoon over medium heat. Completely cook turkey
• While turkey meat is cooking cut the tops off the peppers, even out the bottoms so they sit flat and seed the inside
• Chop onions, scallions and saute over medium heat. Once the onion has started sweating (turning clear) in the same pan add the tomato sauce, salt, Tabasco, Worcester, pepper, chili powder and thyme
• Combine the tomato sauce mixture with the turkey, quiona and feta cheese and mix together.
• Place peppers on a foil lined baking sheet and fill each to the top with the turkey/quinoa mixture. Top with feta cheese
• Bake for 30 minutes
• Top with parsley and enjoy!
