Stuffed Pablano Peppers

When the pablanos started growing this summer in our "garden" I could not remember planting them. Needless to say, I had no idea what to do with a pablano, so I've had to be a little creative because we have more than we can handle. My most recent adventure would be the stuffed pablano - J loved it, so I thought I would post the recipe.

This should serve four

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 taco seasoning pack
1/2 yellow onion diced
1 small can diced green chiles
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 can black beans drained & rinsed
1 cup corn
fresh chopped cilantro chopped
8 pablano peppers
reduced fat mexican cheese blend
sour cream

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425
  • Brown the turkey with onions and green chiles as directed on the taco seasoning pack.
  • Mix brown rice, black beans, corn, and cilantro (to taste) in a small bowl while turkey is cooking
  • Cut pablanos in half long-ways and remove stem and seeds
  • Place pablano halves in a baking dish, and when turkey taco meat is done cooking, scoop it into the pepper halves, layer rice/bean mixture on top
  • sprinkle with cheese
  • cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes - until pablanos are somewhat tender and the filling is warmed through
  • Serve with sour cream and salsa
