1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

3In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces.

4Add the diced onions and garlic (2 cloves) to the skillet and cook until the onions are translucent.

5Stir in the cooked quinoa (1 cup), diced tomatoes, paprika (1 teaspoon), cumin (1 teaspoon), chili powder (½ teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.

6Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the grated cheese and chopped parsley.

7Stuff the bell peppers (4 large) with the turkey-quinoa mixture and place them in a baking dish.

8Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the stuffed peppers.

9Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

10Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
