Method

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Halve bell peppers lengthwise and remove seeds and stems. Arrange cut-side up in a baking dish.

2

Cook quinoa according to package directions; set aside. Dice onion, garlic, and zucchini.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

4

Add diced onion and garlic to the turkey; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook for 2 minutes.

5

Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add cooked quinoa, 0.25 cup of the parmesan, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper; mix until combined.

6

Spoon filling evenly into each pepper half. Top each with remaining parmesan cheese.

7

Add 1 cup water to the baking dish around (not over) the peppers. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes; uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until peppers are tender and filling is heated through.

8

Cool for 3–5 minutes before serving.
