Poblanos Stuffed with Chipotle Turkey Chili Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 4 Servings
35 10 45

Ingredients

  • 8 poblano peppers
  • 1 package (20 ounces) lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
  • 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, divided
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

  • Broil peppers 4 in. from the heat until skins blister, about 5 minutes. With tongs, rotate peppers a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place peppers in a large bowl; cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey, onion and garlic in oil until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, corn, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, cumin, chili powder and pepper; heat through. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 tablespoons cilantro. Set aside.
  • Peel off and discard charred skins from poblanos. Cut a lengthwise slit down each pepper, leaving the stem intact; remove membranes and seeds. Fill each pepper with 1/2 cup turkey mixture.
  • Place peppers in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with sour cream. Yield: 4 servings.

not wanting to waste most of the can of chipolte chilis, I used the whole thing- a little spicy hot! still very good though.

Very good! Great way to spice tasteless ground turkey up.

Admittedly I altered this quite a bit, and will do more alterations in the future. Roasting the peppers didn't impart enough flavor for the work involved, and there were impossible to stuff. I ended up layering pieces of pepper with the chili mixture. Next time I'll use canned whole chili peppers. And I didn't have some of the ingredients and didn't want to specially purchase items that I might not use again, so used things that I had on hand: 93% ground beef instead of turkey, regular diced tomatoes and frozen corn. I thought the flavorings were absolutely perfect -- just enough spice with the chipotle pepper to notice it but not rip your head off. We really enjoyed this dish.

This was so delicious! I added a little more adobo sauce and chipotle pepper. Charred the peppers on the grill. Will definitely make again!

Sorry...wasn't too impressed. Trying to stuff limp peppers was impossible and the filling wasn't that great anyway. I did mix in half pepper jack to the cooled filling, which gave it some cohesiveness, then sprinkled the rest on top. The filling would be better suited to burritoes or a Mexican lasagna.

Made as stated without the salt. It was yummy. Don't miss the salt at all. My peppers were homegrown and small so ,I like another reviewer, sliced them in half and layered them on the bottom of the pan. Guess it could be called "poblano casserole" prepared that way.

My poblanos were overcooked and didn't hold their shape at all. I laid them in the bottom of the pan and put all the toppings on. They were delicious even though they didn't look as nice.

These were excellent! The poblanos must have been over-cooked; they didn't hold their shape at all. I laid them in the bottom of the baking pan and put the topping over the peppers to bake.

This was excellent! If you cook and eat at home you already eat less salt than most people! Just review the recipe and get off your soap box! It was delicious!

My son and I made these for dinner; they turned out great. Lots of flavor! As with any recipe, one can adjust the salt content to their taste. I used smoked sea salt, yummy!
