Instructions
For the Tzatziki Sauce
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before using to allow flavors to combine.
For the Peppers
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and place the peppers in the dish.
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey and break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks. After about 3 minutes of cooking, add the garlic and onion. Continue to cook until the turkey is cooked through and the onions are soft.
- Drain off any excess liquid and stir in the oregano, tomato, zucchini, quinoa, and salt. Add the additional ingredients, minus the feta, toss to combine. Spoon the mixture into the peppers then bake 25 minutes. Add the feta and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Drizzle with the tzatziki sauce and serve.
