Delicious Stuffed Bell Peppers


These are so yummy even my teenagers like them! They're one of those dishes that is different every time I make it but what IS constant with them is that they're low in calories, packed with protein, vitamin C, phytochemicals, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. You can change ingredients and amounts to your liking but here's what I do:

  • 4 Bell peppers (I prefer red, orange, and yellow)
  • 1lb ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa and wild rice
  • Chopped onion
  • Chopped mushrooms
  • Chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese 
  • And season to taste (I use garlic salt, lemon pepper, and thyme)


Cook and season quinoa and wild rice like you normally would. Sauté onion and garlic. Add mushrooms and any other veggies you choose. Add ground turkey. Season. Once thoroughly cooked add in quinoa/rice mixture. Cut tops off bell peppers and core. Add pinch of sea salt inside. Then small amount of cheese. Add meat mixture and top with cheese. Put in dish filled about 1/4 with water. Place baking dish in 400 degree oven for 30-40minutes. Voila!
Serve with side salad or even garlic bread. Enjoy!!
