For this recipe, you will need:
– 4 large bell peppers (approx. 600g)
– 250g ground turkey
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries
– 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Carefully stuff each bell pepper with the turkey-quinoa mixture until full. Place the stuffed peppers in the baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the tops to slightly brown.

Once cooked, remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of the cinnamon and cumin will fill your kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your holiday gathering.
