The idea for making this Turkey Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Recipe came to me a few days ago when my husband suddenly out of the blue told me: “You know, before I’ve met you, I didn’t eat peppers, my mom never used them in her recipes”

I was like “You’ve never had a stuffed pepper?” and he shook his head. I grew up eating a lot of peppers so it was a shock to me. My mom and grandma make them with ground beef and rice so I decided to make them lighter. Thankfully my invention worked!

These delicious stuffed peppers are lower in fat, healthy but still satisfying. Although it won’t be on your dinner table in 20 minutes, they are very easy to make. You can make them in advance and just bake before company arrives or as a weeknight meal.

Below is a step by step picture instructions. It is very important to bake them with the top on, just like making rice with a lid on the stove, the little pepper top will serve the same function and it makes a nice presentation when they come out of the oven.

The process is very simple, make the filling, stuff them inside the peppers, add the sauce underneath, place the peppers on top of the sauce and bake until ready.

Easy! If you’re not a fan of turkey or Quinoa just use ground beef and rice.
