Quinoa and Turkey Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe

  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Cut the tops off each tomato and scoop out a small amount of the insides. Discard tops and insides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini, green bell pepper, garlic, and salt until tender, about 10 minutes. Add ground turkey; cook and stir until turkey is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir quinoa and 1/2 of the tomato sauce into the ground turkey mixture.
  4. Arrange tomatoes in a baking dish. Fill each tomato with turkey-quinoa mixture. Pour remaining tomato sauce over each stuffed tomato. Pour a 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tomatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
