- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

- Once the prep is completed, cover the peppers in olive oil with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the oven is preheated, put the peppers in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
- While the peppers cook, begin cooking the quinoa. First, rinse the quinoa, fill a pot with two cups of water, add the rice, bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover and let cook roughly 20 minutes. Allow an additional 5-10 minutes for the quinoa to rest.
- While the peppers and quinoa cook, start the turkey. Add to a skillet, season to taste, and cook over medium heat until brown.

- Once the peppers are finished, remove them from the oven, and fill with the mixture of turkey, quinoa, beans, onions, and garlic.
- Top with cilantro, tomato paste, and cheese. Place back into the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, se, and enjoy!
