Ingredients
6 large bell peppers
Ground Turkey, 1 pound
1 medium onion
2-4 garlic cloves
2 TBS tomato paste
1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 can petite diced tomatoes or 2 fresh tomatoes diced
2 packs of Grain & Simple 2 Minute Grains (from Costco) or 3 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Colby Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
Add olive oil to pan. Saute the onion and garlic. Set aside.
In a large pan, coat with olive oil and cook the ground turkey. Add the onion and garlic once browned. Remove from heat.
Add the tomato paste, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and lemon juice. Heat the 2 Minute Grains as directed on package (or cook your quinoa or brown rice according to package directions). Add to the meat mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Slice off the top of the peppers and clean out the inside. Place in a 9x13 glass pan. Scoop the meat mixture into each of the peppers about halfway full. Add some shredded cheese and then fill the rest of each pepper with the meat mixture. Top with shredded cheese. Add some of the meat mixture in between the peppers for a more hardy meal.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 until the peppers start to soften and the cheese on top is melted throughout.
