Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color you prefer)

1 lb ground turkey

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly oil a baking dish and arrange the peppers upright in the dish.

      Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

        Season the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

          Mix in Other Ingredients: Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix everything well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

            Stuff the Peppers: Carefully spoon the turkey and quinoa mixture into each prepared pepper, packing them gently but firmly.

              Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the stuffed peppers.

                Bake: Place the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Garnish & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious creation!
