Ground Turkey, Corn, and Bean Filled Poblano Peppers

Another one of my easy to prepare, delicious, fairly healthy Tex-Mex inspired meal ideas...I don't remember specifics for this recipe since I made it so long ago, but I can describe the gist of it to at least get the idea across.  
(Also, no step-by-step pics.  Only end results)  
One of the main purposes of my blog is just to keep track of and give families as many meal ideas as possible!

Will need...
Poblano peppers (I used 2)
Olive oil
Ground turkey (1lb. or so?)

DIY taco seasoning
(1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp oregano)

Garlic salt (to taste)
Can of dark red kidney beans
Can of black beans
Can of corn
Can of diced tomatoes
JalapeƱos
Shredded cheese

Side ideas...
Sliced avocado
Quinoa

Prepping the peppers

1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees. (guessing because I usually do it around that temp.)
2.  Wash and cut poblano peppers lengthwise.  Cut out stem and take out/rinse out seeds.
3.  Place peppers on cookie sheet with the inside facing up and drizzle with olive oil.
4.  Bake in oven 5-10 mins. (this amount of time is another estimate).
5.  Remove from oven and turn pepper so the outside of the pepper is now face up and drizzle with olive oil.  Bake an additional 5-10 mins.  When they are ready you should see just a bit of bubbling or whitening on the outside skin of the pepper and they should start to feel soft to touch.

Cooking the stuffing

1.  Brown the ground turkey in a skillet.
2.  When browned add about 1 cup of water to the meat and stir in the DIY taco seasoning.  Heat through.  

3.  TASTE the taco meat!  Here I usually add some garlic salt to taste...
4.  Drain cans of beans, corn, and tomatoes and add to skillet.
5.  Mix well and heat until mixture is heated throughout, mixing frequently.

Bringing it together

1.  Spoon turkey, corn, and bean mixture into the poblano peppers and top with jalapeƱ
os.
2.  Bake for 10 mins.
3.  Remove from oven and top with shredded cheese.  Bake until cheese is melted, usually about 5 mins.





                              

Serve with your choice of sides and toppings!
