Turkey and Quinoa Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Stuffed Peppers

Like most of my dishes, a spicy, Mexican-inspired meal. Pretty self explanatory otherwise. :)

"Let me just say this recipe rocks! Made the peppers tonight for dinner and I can honestly report, they were the best peppers I've ever had! I used brown rice instead of the quinoa! Thanks so much!!"
