TURKEY ENCHILADA POBLANO PEPPERS
In this healthy take on a turkey enchilada recipe, we stuff everything into a roasted poblano pepper shell rather than tortillas to pack an extra serving of veggies into this meal. If you can't find poblano peppers, you can substitute green bell peppers instead.

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.

Steps:
- Sauce: Put the tomatoes, garlic and onion in a blender. Blend until smooth. In a medium saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Chile rellenos: Mix the cheese and oregano in a small bowl. Cut a slit through 1 side of the charred chiles and fill each chile with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture. Close with toothpicks to hold the filling in place. In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the egg yolk and continue to beat for about 1 minute.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Dredge the filled chiles in flour until fully covered. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the chiles into the egg mixture, until well coated. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.
- Arrange the chiles on a serving platter, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

Steps:
- Lay the poblano peppers on a work surface so they sit flat naturally without rolling.
- Using a small, sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit along one side of each of the poblano peppers, then make a small cross-wise slit along the top to create a T-shaped slit, careful not to cut the stem off. Carefully cut out and remove the core, then scoop out the seeds.
- Using tongs, roast the poblano chiles over an open flame such as the grill, broiler or stovetop, turning often until the skin is completely blistered.
- Transfer to a plastic bag (or place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap) and let steam for 10 to 15 minutes to loosen the skins. Once they are cool enough to handle, use a butter knife to scrape away the charred skins and discard, careful not to tear the peppers.
- Set the roasted poblanos aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Pour 1-1/4 cups of the sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 12-inch casserole dish.
- To make the turkey:
- Meanwhile, brown the ground turkey on medium heat in large sauté pan and season with salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into small pieces.
- Add the chopped onions, garlic, pepper, tomato and cilantro and continue cooking on a low heat.
- Add cumin, oregano, bay leaves, and more salt if needed. Add tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of water and mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer covered about 15 minutes.
- Carefully stuff about 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture into each poblano pepper.
- Place the peppers seam side up over the sauce in the baking dish and top each with 2 tbsp of cheese.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Serve hot topped with cilantro or scallions on top.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
- Choose the Right Poblanos: Look for poblanos that are deep green in color, firm to the touch, and have smooth skin. Avoid any poblanos that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the Poblanos Properly: Roasting the poblanos is an important step that helps to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel. Make sure you roast them until the skin is blackened and blistered.
- Handle the Poblanos with Care: Once the poblanos are roasted, they will be very hot. Use tongs or a heatproof mitt to handle them to avoid burning yourself.
- Don't Overfill the Poblanos: When you're stuffing the poblanos, be careful not to overfill them. You want to leave a little bit of room at the top so that the chili can expand while it's cooking.
- Use a Good Quality Chipotle: The chipotle peppers are what give this chili its smoky flavor. Make sure you use a good quality chipotle that has a deep, rich flavor.
- Simmer the Chili: After you've stuffed the poblanos, simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Poblanos Stuffed with Chipotle Turkey Chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The poblanos are roasted until tender and then stuffed with a flavorful chipotle turkey chili. The chili is simmered in a rich tomato sauce and then topped with cheese. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
