👩🍳 How to Make It

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Slice bell peppers in half and remove seeds.

Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.

👉 If you want softer peppers, you can pre-bake them for 10 minutes before filling.

---

 

Step 2: Cook the Filling

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Add garlic and cook for another minute.

Then add ground turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

Season with:

• Salt

• Pepper

• Italian seasoning

---

 

Step 3: Add the Savory Boost

Stir in:

• Cooked quinoa

• Savory Mushroom gravy

Mix until everything is well combined and coated.

Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors come together.

👉 This is where the magic happens—the filling becomes rich, cohesive, and deeply flavorful.

---

 

Step 4: Finish the Filling

Turn off heat and stir in fresh herbs.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

---

 

Step 5: Stuff the Peppers

Spoon the mixture evenly into each pepper half.

Don’t be afraid to pile it high.

Optional:
 👉 Sprinkle cheese on top for a slightly indulgent finish

Step 6: Bake
