Baked Chile Rellenos with Homemade Turkey Chorizo and Poblano Cream
Here’s a peek at what your beautiful finished dish will look like:
Ingredients
- 4 large poblano peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roast the poblano peppers on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes, turning them occasionally until charred and blistered. Once done, place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling the skin easier.
- In the meantime, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Carefully peel the skin off of the roasted poblano peppers and make a slit down the side of each pepper. Remove the seeds and fill each pepper with the turkey mixture. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together sour cream, milk, and flour over medium heat until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour this creamy sauce over the stuffed peppers.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the rich flavors and creamy goodness in every bite!
