Ingredients
¾
cup
uncooked quinoa
4
large bell peppers
red or orange
1
TBSP
olive oil
1
cup
chopped onion
2
garlic cloves
minced
12
ounces
ground turkey
2
tsp
ground cumin
1
tsp
freshly grated ginger
a few pinches of kosher salt
1
small pinch of pepper
14
ounces
petite diced tomatoes
not drained
2
TBSP
dried currants
or dried cranberries
4
ounces
feta cheese
crumbled
¼
cup
finely chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven the 350.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups of water and the quinoa and bring to boil.
Cover, turn the heat down to low, and cook about 18 minutes.
Remove from heat, keeping lid on, and allow to “steam” for 5-10 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare your peppers by cutting off the top to open up the pepper.
With a sharp paring knife, trim out the ribs and seeds until the pepper is clean inside.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft.
Turn the heat down to low and add the garlic, stirring for 1 minute.
Add the turkey, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper.
Cook, stirring to break up the turkey, until cooked through.
Stir in the tomatoes and their juice, the currants (or cranberries), feta, and quinoa.
Fill the peppers firmly with the mixture, mounding it a little on top.
Place the peppers in a shallow casserole dish, cover with foil, and bake 35-40 minutes.
Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy!
