Print RecipeIngredients
- 8 poblano peppers, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 onion, diced small
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced small
- 1 pound of loose chorizo
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 2 cups of cooked ground turkey
- 1 cup of turkey or chicken broth
- 1 cup of raw milk Jack cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup of hulled and roasted pumpkin seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Roast poblanos; this can be done over an open flame, gas stove top, under the broiler, or on a grill.
- For the gas stovetop, put peppers on the grate right above the flame and turn up the flame as required.
- Place the rack 2 inches from the flame for the broiler and turn peppers as needed.
- For the grill, turn the peppers as needed.
- The peppers may pop a bit as their skin blisters, and the skin must blacken, so it comes off easily.
- When peppers are charred all over, place them in a paper bag, close it so they can steam, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and sweet potato.
- When the onion is translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes, add chorizo, breaking it up into small chunks with a wooden spoon.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, and garlic powder, stirring until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add turkey and broth, cooking until broth is absorbed, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in cheese, cilantro, and pumpkin seeds, then adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, peel poblano peppers.
- Remove from bag and using a small knife, brush the skins off into the trash, keeping the tops/stems on.
- When they’re all peeled, make a slit in each from top to bottom and carefully remove all the seeds.
- Using a spoon and your hands (filling should be cool enough), stuff the peppers as full as possible, and then some.
- Place the peppers in a baking dish, being careful not to crowd them too much.
- Put in the oven and set the timer for 25 minutes.
- Remove from pan and serve. Enjoy!
