posted in Recipes on 2/19/2014

These low-fat, low-sodium peppers are stuffed with a mixture of turkey, rice, quinoa, spinach, and salsa and are packed with flavor.

Ingredients: 5 bell peppers Olive oil spray 1 med.onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves,minced 20 oz pkg ground turkey 1 tsp ground blk pepper 1 tsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp coriander 1 (12 oz)low-sodium salsa 2 cup baby spinach, rinsed-chopped 1 cup cooked quinoa 1 cup cooked rice 1/2 c-cheese

First, spray your baking dish with the olive oil spray. Then wash and halve the peppers lengthwise, removing the white pithy ribs, the stems and the seeds. Line these up in the pan and set aside.

Spray a large non-stick skillet with the olive oil spray, then sauté the onions and garlic until they start to brown. If they give you any trouble sticking, a quick splash of water or broth will fix that.
