Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the bell peppers by cutting the tops off and removing the seeds.
  • Sauté onions and garlic in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Cook the ground turkey in the skillet until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Add chopped spinach, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper to the cooked turkey, stirring until the spinach wilts.
  • Mix in the cooked quinoa or rice and marinara sauce until everything is well combined.
  • Stuff the turkey mixture into the bell peppers. If using, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Pour some extra marinara sauce around them for added moisture.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve warm, letting the stuffed peppers cool slightly first.
