Turkey Stuffed Poblanos

These are AH-mazing!  Lean and Clean and perfect for a snack or a meal! The make a really nice filling snack, but when we do these for dinner we usually add some Tex-Max Cauliflower Rice or Salsa Salad! They are SO easy to make, only 4 ingredients, little to no prep!

*I have previously posted a similar stuffed pepper, which used sausage, this is just a much leaner option!



What you need...
1 lb. ground turkey
4 poblano peppers
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
4oz. cream cheese

Preheat oven to 400F. Add ground turkey to a large sautΓ© pan and turn to medium-high heat, meanwhile slice center segment and stem out of the peppers, removing any seeds.

Place the peppers into a glass dish and roughly chop the center segments up.  Add the chopped peppers to the ground turkey and continue to cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until the turkey is cooked through, about 7 minutes.

Add tomatoes and cream cheese.  Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until cheese has melted and all is well combined.

Once your filling is mixed through, use a spoon to fill the peppers.  I like to add filling in the middle, then use the spoon to push the filling towards the bottom of the pepper once you do that, it's easier then to fill from the top end where it's wider!

Once filled, place into preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes! Remove and serve hot or add to containers to cool for snack portions! Cover and reheat when ready!

What you need...
