Turkey Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 Cubanelle peppers
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup water or chicken stock
  • 1 cup shredded Manchego cheese

For Serving: Fresh chopped herbs, spicy chili flakes, pesto or zhug (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil.
  3. Add the jalapeno and onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the ground turkey and cook it through, stiring as you go, about 8 minutes.
  5. Stir in the seasonings and water or chicken stock. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors mingle and the moisture to evaporate. Remove from heat.
  6. Slice the Cubanelle peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the innards. Set them onto a large baking sheet.
  7. Scoop the seasoned ground turkey into the pepper halves then top them with Manchego cheese.
  8. Bake them for 20 minutes for slightly crunchier peppers, or 30 minutes for softer.
  9. Remove and sprinkle with spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped herbs, and pesto, zhug or chermoula, if desired.
