3 cups water
1/2 cup dry quinoa
1 lb ground lean turkey
1/2 medium onion - chopped
1/2 cup freezer corn
1/2 package of frozen mixed peppers
1 6oz can tomato paste
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
Salt/Pepper to taste

To Make

1. In a large pot, add the water and the quinoa; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook 30 minutes

2. Brown the meat in a skillet, then add the chopped onion.

3. Add corn and assorted peppers and toss over high heat until vegetables are thawed and slightly browned.

4. When quinoa is done, stir in the tomato paste and mix well. Add turkey and veggies, mix it all up, and then add the spices. Mix thoroughly.

5. Cover; and simmer until the mixture thickens on low-medium heat.
