Stuffed bell peppers is one of my all time favorite meals. I decided to put a little twist on one of my favorite stuffed bell pepper recipe! Instead of stuffing the peppers you can enjoy the pepper mixture on it’s own! Sometimes I enjoy eating the mixture out of a bowl topped with salsa, avocado, and chips and other times I like eating it on top of a bed of spinach.
My unstuffed bell pepper skillet has the same ingredients and flavor as my favorite stuffed peppers recipe! It’s packed with ground turkey, quinoa, bell peppers, tomatoes, black beans, corn, onions, and spices! It’s the perfect family dinner recipe and makes a great dish to meal prep for the busy work week!
To make this recipe start by adding olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to a large skillet. Sauté ground turkey until lightly browned over medium heat. Then add in the diced onions, chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally. Add in cooked quinoa and spices, and stir until they’re well combined. Cook for another minute.
