While exploring Mexican restaurants, I tasted chiles rellenos and wanted to make them at home. My husband and I teamed up to create this stuffed poblano peppers recipe, which is one of our favorites. —Lorrie Grabczynski, Commerce Township, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chili without beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Meanwhile, cut peppers lengthwise in half; remove seeds. Place on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan, cut side down; brush with oil. Broil 4 in. from heat until skins blister, about 5 minutes.
