step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
step 2
Prep your ingredients: Thoroughly wash the outside of the Yellow Bell Peppers (6) with cold water. Cut off the very tops and scoop out the seeds and membrane to have a nice, clean vessel for the filling.

step 3
Get the peppers into a baking dish. Drizzle them generously with Olive Oil (as needed) and season each of them with a pinch of Salt (to taste). Roast them in the oven for 12 minutes to let them develop flavor and start to get tender.
step 4
In the meantime, start preparing the filling. In a small pot, bring the Chicken Stock (2 cups) to a boil. Pour in the Quinoa (1 cup) and cover the pot with its lid. Reduce the heat to low and let the quinoa cook until tender for about 12 minutes.
step 5
While the quinoa cooks, heat Olive Oil (1 dash) in a large pan over medium high heat. Brown the Ground Turkey (1 lb) while breaking it up with a spoon. Season it and spice it with the Salt (1/2 tsp), Chili Powder (1/4 tsp), and Smoked Paprika (1/4 tsp).
step 6
When the turkey is cooked, add in the Shallot (1), Jalapeño Pepper (1), and Tomatoes (4). Let them get soft and fragrant for a minute.
step 7
Then add in the GOYA® Black Beans (1 can) and zest and juice of the Lime (1). Let the mixture come to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let it all simmer for 10 minutes.

step 8
Take the peppers out of the oven, leaving the oven on, and take the pot of quinoa off of the heat. Fluff the quinoa up with a fork, then pour it into the meat mixture and stir it all to combine it into one glorious filling.
step 9
Scoop a generous amount of the filling into each pepper. Really pack it in to get the peppers nice and well-stuffed.
