A simple, four-ingredient comfort food dish, made healthier with Quinoa in place of rice, turkey instead of beef and reduced-fat cheese. The Quinoa was a new experience for Mike, and I wasn't sure he'd approve. Thankfully, he liked it. :) In the future, I will make the mixture thicker and sprinkle additional cheese on at the end of baking.
Ingredients
- Trio of large, multi-colored peppers
- 1/2 cup cooked Trader Joe's Organic Red Quinoa (prepared according to package instructions)
- 1 package of Trader Joe's "Just Sauce" Turkey Bolognese (prepared according to package instructions)
- 1 8-ounce package of Weight Watchers Mexican Style shredded cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spritz a small baking pan with olive oil non-stick spray
- Prepare peppers by cutting off the tops and scooping out the interior white flesh and seeds. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- In a large bowl, mix cooked Quinoa, prepared bolognese sauce and cheese until fully blended.
- Scoop Quinoa mixture into each pepper.
- Spritz peppers in pan with olive oil non-stick spray.
- Bake, with pepper tops on, for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven, remove tops and then bake for another 10 minutes.
