This year I grew a big variety of about 25 different peppers, one of which is the always awesome Cubanelle pepper. Cubanelles are great for cooking and frying, but they’re seriously AWESOME for stuffing, and that’s what we have today. Ready? Turkey Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers! YES! I love these, and I hope you will to. They’re Cubanelles stuffed with a mixture of seasoned ground turkey and flavorful manchego cheese, then baked until they’re tender and delicious. You LOVE stuffed peppers as much as I do, don’t you? I, however, LOVE to stuff them, as you can see. Learn more about the Cubanelle Pepper Here. Let’s talk about how we make them, shall we? Next, get a pan good and hot and oil it up. Add some chopped jalapeno and onion and cook them until softened, just a few minutes. Add the ground turkey and cook it through, breaking it up as you go along, about 8 minutes or so. Simmer the whole thing to let the flavors mingle. Next, slice the Cubanelle peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the innards. Set them onto a large baking sheet. Scoop the seasoned ground turkey into the pepper halves then top them with Manchego cheese. Remove the peppers and sprinkle them with spicy chili flakes and fresh chopped herbs. I served mine with a homemade zhug recipe that I made very recently and I LOVE it! I love zhug, but it’s also great with either a homemade pesto or homemade chermoula. The jalapeno peppers will add a slight kick for you. If you’re looking to spice up this dish even more, incorporate hotter peppers and/or a spicier chili powder, and go heavy on the spicy chili flakes before serving.
