This day I did a turkey quinoa stuffed pepper with roasted balsamic cauliflower. I really liked everything about this meal and will be making it again and again. I have a link for both of the recipes and I'll tell you how I changed it up! (Because obviously I can't just follow a recipe!)
First off, I cut the tops off of three peppers and took out the seeds, 2 yellow and 1 red. Then I placed them in a glass bowl with 1/4 cup water and microwaved them for 4 minutes to soften them a little.
I cooked the 1/2 cup quinoa in 1 cup water.
I cooked the turkey like it says with the onions through step 6. I skipped step 7 on the recipe and added some spaghetti sauce because I had an open jar I needed to use. I followed the recipe from then on except I didn't add cheese to the top.
Side note: I like yellow bell peppers because they are sweeter than the others. Also, this made extra turkey stuffing and so I just let E eat it in a bowl without the pepper. (In a perfect world he would have ate this but today he didn't! Maybe next time!)
Followed the directions for ingredients. Let it all marinate while I was preparing the stuffed peppers. Baked it at 400 degrees in the same oven as the peppers for 30 minutes.
