Ingredients
I love stuffed pepper but it can be a lot of work. So I just simplified it.
1. Pre heat the oven to 350.
2. Start by cooking the quinoa. Bring to a boil the chicken stock. Add the quinoa, when the stock is at the same level as the quinoa reduce hear to a medium-low and cover. Let is simmer for 20 minuets or until tender.
3. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic, and sauté 1 minute.
4. Add the ground turkey to the onion and garlic mixture until golden. Stir in the tomatoes with juice. Cook 5 minutes, or until most of liquid has evaporated.
5. Cut the tops of the green peppers. and take out all the insides. place about a cup of turkey / quinoa mixture in to each cup. Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes. Place a quarter of a cup of cheese to the top of each pepper and back for 5 minutes or until melted.
