21-Day Fix Approved Stuffed Bell Peppers

This recipe is proof that clean and healthy eating isn't boring or tasteless!!! These are delicious and 21-Day Fix approved - what could be better than that? This recipe called for brown rice, but I love quinoa and decided to sub it in for brown rice.

6 bell peppers - tops and seeds removed
1 lb ground turkey meat
1 chopped onion
1 cup quinoa
20 oz  reduced sugar marinara sauce
5 cloves of chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Italian seasonings (oregano, basil)

 Cook quinoa according to package and brown turkey meat with chopped onion. Mix quinoa, browned turkey, onion, marinara, garlic, salt & peppers, and Italian seasonings together.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place empty peppers in pan and bake for 10 minutes. Removed peppers from oven and stuff with meat and quinoa mixture; top with cheese if desired.
Bake for another 25-30 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

This makes 6 servings (1 pepper = 1 serving)
1 serving = 1 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 purple
