Ingredients:

<li data-ingredient="4 large bell peppers (mixed colors)
• 500g ground turkey
• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• baking dish
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked quinoa, diced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Stuff each bell pepper with the turkey and quinoa mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each stuffed pepper. Place the peppers in a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Once done, remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers cool slightly before serving. The aroma of the smoked paprika and garlic will fill your kitchen, inviting everyone to the table.

This recipe yields 4 servings, with each stuffed bell pepper weighing approximately 300g. One serving of these savory stuffed bell peppers is around 350 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling mixture before baking. It adds a subtle heat that pairs perfectly with the smoky paprika.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and make it your own with different herbs, spices, or protein options. Enjoy these savory stuffed bell peppers as a hearty and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion!
