Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour juice from the drained tomatoes into the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch baking dish.

Core, seed and cut the peppers in half, lengthwise and place into baking dish.
Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed, quinoa becomes translucent and separates.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion and sautée until translucent. Add turkey and cook until done.
