Ingredients

- 1.2 tsp honey
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5111 tsp vegetable oil

Method
- 01In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, cooked quinoa, finely minced green bell pepper, salt, and cracked black pepper.

- 03Let the rolls rest in a cool place for at least 15-30 minutes (or up to 6 hours chilled) to allow the flavors to meld.
- 04Unwrap the bites. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 05Add the turkey bites and sear for 4 to 5 minutes, turning regularly, until lightly browned on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- 06Brush lightly with honey during the final minute of cooking to glaze.
- 07Transfer to a plate and serve warm, garnished with sliced fresh bird's-eye chili and raw garlic slices.
