Need a new dinner recipe that's healthy but is also a good helping of comfort food??? This one is sure to satisfy that craving and please the whole family!
I was trying to find something to make for dinner with ingredients I had on hand and that would satisfy my Mexican food craving (thank you pregnancy!). So, I sorta made this one up between a couple of recipes I already knew. It turned out awesome and my almost 3 year old ate it up like it was going out of style! #momwin!
So, check it out and be sure to PIN IT as well to refer back to! ENJOY!
Turkey Quinoa Black Bean Casserole
(makes 6-8 servings)
1lbs ground turkey
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups chopped bell peppers (I used a frozen mix)
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups chopped bell peppers (I used a frozen mix)
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used Colby Jack)
Add quinoa in 2 cups water and bring to boil. Once boiling, put lid on top then reduce to simmer for 15 min. Meanwhile, cook ground turkey and add in spices. Preheat oven to 375. Once turkey and quinoa are done, add both to casserole dish and add remaining ingredients, leaving cheese for the top. Cook in oven for 20 min.
Enjoy!
