I whipped this up one night when I was tired of the same old meals. Using quinoa instead of rice gives it a fun twist, and turkey keeps it light but filling.

How to Make It:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the tops off four bell peppers and scoop out the seeds and insides.
  3. In a pan, cook 1 pound of ground turkey until it’s nicely browned.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of cooked quinoa, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, plus a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Stuff those peppers with the turkey-quinoa mix.
  6. Pop them into a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Take the foil off and bake 10 more minutes.
  8. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?

You bet! The stuffed peppers and eggplant lasagna reheat like a dream. Store them in the fridge and warm them up when you’re ready. The lettuce wraps are best fresh, but you can prep the parts and assemble fast.

Good for meal prep?

Totally! The peppers and lasagna are awesome for making on Sunday and eating all week. The wraps are quick to put together, so they’re solid for a fresh prep option.

What if I need to swap ingredients?

No problem! Use ground chicken or beef in the peppers instead of turkey. For the wraps, try tofu or tempeh if you’re veggie. And for the lasagna, dairy-free cheese works if you’re skipping dairy.
