Stuffed Poblano Peppers

A spicy variation on traditional stuffed peppers that is full of flavor and looks like you have been cooking all day. I have fallen in love with the new prepared rice packages.  Perfect rice in just 90 seconds!  For this recipe, I have found Uncle Ben's to be the best!

Ingredients:
4 poblano peppers (sometimes called pasillas)
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup  chunky salsa
2 slices vegan cheese
8 oz. pkg Uncle Ben's fully-cooked brown rice
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1 tsp. chili powder
Salt/Pepper to taste

Directions:
Lay peppers on their sides and cut off 1/3 off the sides-they do not stand up like bell peppers.
Dice the portion of the poblano chiles you cut off.













Heat oil in skillet and add turkey, onions, chopped poblanos, tomatoes, and seasonings.  Sauté until turkey is done.  Prepare rice according to pkg. instructions.  Add to skillet then stir in 1/2 salsa.














In rectangular baking dish, spoon filling into each poblano.  Fill until about 3/4 full, add 1/2 slice of vegan cheese, then spoon the rest of the mixture over the top.  Allow the remained rice/turkey mixture to fall to the bottom of the dish. Stir the remaining salsa into the extra rice at the bottom of the dish.















Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
