2 cups water
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 pound ground turkey
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 mushrooms, chopped, or more to taste
1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce, or more to taste

1
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and season with salt and pepper; cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Transfer cooked turkey mixture to a large bowl. Add cooked quinoa, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Stir well; add additional tomato sauce as needed, until filling has the consistency of a casserole.
5
Arrange red bell peppers in a baking dish and spoon an equal amount of filling into each.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and top each stuffed pepper with Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
