Savory Stuffed Bell Peppers

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that always brings me back to cozy family dinners around the table. These savory stuffed bell peppers are a delicious twist on a classic dish, perfect for a chilly autumn evening. The combination of hearty ingredients and flavorful spices is sure to warm your soul.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium bell peppers (mixed colors)
• 400g ground turkey
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• medium saucepan
• baking dish

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 medium saucepan, cook the quinoa according to package instructions.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the cooked quinoa, tomato sauce, chicken broth, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Place the hollowed-out bell peppers in a baking dish, then generously stuff them with the turkey and quinoa mixture. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Once cooked, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the tops of the stuffed peppers. Serve hot and enjoy the savory goodness!
