Turkey, Beans & Greens-Stuffed Peppers with Creamy Hummus

Turkey, Beans & Greens-Stuffed Peppers

with Creamy Hummus

Mild, earthy, sweet, and perfect for stuffing, bell peppers are one of our favorite ingredients for a quick (and delicious!) weeknight dinner idea. For this vegan spin on a classic, we toss springy, scallion-flecked pearl couscous with Italian-seasoned cannellini beans, kale, and tomatoes to make a hearty, flavorful stuffing. Once filled and baked, the peppers are topped with a drizzle of garlicky hummus sauce before serving. After dinner, you’ll be pleasantly stuffed, too!

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Halve bell peppers lengthwise; remove stems and seeds. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces. Quarter lemon. Drain and rinse beans. Dice tomato into 1⁄2-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Place pepper halves on a baking sheet and rub all over with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper, then arrange cut sides down.

    Roast on top rack until browned and softened, 15-18 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, 1⁄2 tsp Italian Seasoning (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. (You’ll use more Italian Seasoning later.) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

    Add couscous, half the stock concentrates, and 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.

    Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.

  4. 4

    While couscous cooks, in a small bowl, combine hummus, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and 1⁄4 tsp garlic powder (1⁄2 tsp for 4). (You’ll use the rest of the garlic powder in the next step.) Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

    Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or turkey* in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

  5. 5

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add kale, remaining garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings), juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4), a splash of water, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring and adding more splashes of water as needed, until kale is tender and water has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in beans, tomato, couscous, remaining stock concentrate, and a drizzle of olive oil; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat; taste and season with salt and pepper.

    Use pan used for chicken or turkey here. Stir chicken or turkey into filling along with beans.

  6. 6

    Once peppers are done roasting, remove sheet from oven. Carefully stuff with half the filling.

    Divide remaining filling between plates; top with stuffed peppers. Drizzle with creamy hummus and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

    *Ground Turkey is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.*
