Method
Gather and prepare the ingredients. Heat a medium sauté pan to medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray. Add the peppers and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes; set aside and keep warm. Mix the seasonings together and set aside.
Heat another medium sauté pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, spray the pan with cooking spray and brown the ground turkey. Add the seasoning mixture, ¼ cup water, and lime juice; cook until seasonings are well combined. Add the beans and quinoa and cook until warm.
Divide the lettuce into two bowls. Top with the sauteed peppers, the cheese, and the cooked turkey mixture. Serve with cilantro lime dressing.
