Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- To prepare sauce: Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce, broth, chipotle, adobo sauce, chili powder, 1/2 tsp. cumin, and 1/8 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare stuffed poblanos: Cut each poblano in half lengthwise and remove core and seeds. Place the poblanos on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until almost tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey and onion; cook, breaking the turkey up into smaller pieces, until the turkey is no longer pink and the onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and tomato; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the enchilada sauce, water, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and salt; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in tortilla pieces.
- Divide the turkey mixture among the poblano halves, spooning about 1/3 cup into each one. Top each poblano half with 1 Tbsp. cheese. Bake until golden brown and heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- To serve, top each stuffed poblano half with about 1/2 Tbsp. avocado and garnish with 1/2 Tbsp. sour cream, if desired.

BELL PEPPER ENCHILADAS
Peppers are probably the vegetable that gets used most frequently in my kitchen. My freezer's constantly stocked in case I discover a new recipe to try or want to whip up an old favorite again. In a way, my parents helped create this recipe. They always taught never to waste. So one day when my husband (I'm a stepmom to two girls, 18 and 15) and I had prepared a Mexican meal and had peppers, cheese, salsa and tortillas left over, these were the result! -Melissa Cowser, Greenville, Texas

Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, chop your green peppers and onions into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet: When you're cooking the turkey, use a large skillet so that the meat has plenty of room to brown. This will help you get a nice, even sear on the turkey.
- Season your turkey: Before you cook the turkey, be sure to season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help give the meat a delicious flavor.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes these enchiladas sing. Be sure to use a sauce that you love, and that has a good balance of flavors. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy green sauce would both be great choices.
- Don't overfill your tortillas: When you're assembling the enchiladas, be sure not to overfill the tortillas. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to roll up and they'll be more likely to fall apart.
Conclusion:
These green pepper and onion turkey enchiladas are a delicious and easy meal that the whole family will love. They're perfect for a weeknight dinner, and they're also great for potlucks and parties. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these enchiladas a try!
