Report
Sweet Cubanelle peppers with just a touch of spice, stuffed with seasoned ground turkey and Manchego cheese, then baked. Here is the recipe. Great for any larger pepper, like bell peppers or poblanos.

Ingredients
- 5-6 cubanelle peppers
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 Jalapeno pepper chopped
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup water or chicken stock
- 1 cup shredded manchego cheese
FOR SERVING
- fresh chopped herbs spicy chili flakes, pesto or zhug (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the jalapeno and onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey and cook it through, stirring as you go, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the seasonings and water or chicken stock. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors mingle and the moisture to evaporate. Remove from heat.
- 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.
- Bake them for 20 minutes for slightly crunchier peppers, or 30 minutes for softer.
- Remove and sprinkle with spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped herbs, and pesto, zhug or chermoula, if desired.
Notes
- I served mine with homemade zhug recipe that I made very recently, but it’s also great with either a homemade pesto or homemade chermoula.
- Heat Factor: Mild, though Cubanelle peppers can have a bit of spiciness to them.
