Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers Food

SALSA STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place prepared peppers in a casserole dish and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until crisp tender.
• While peppers are roasting, crumble the ground turkey into large pan and cook over medium high heat until browned and cooked through. Add in onion and cook until tender.
• Stir in the taco seasoning, rice, beans, corn and salsa. Remove peppers from oven and allow to cool enough to handle. Scoop the turkey mixture into the cooked peppers. Any leftover filling can be scooped around the peppers. Return to oven and bake an additional 20 minutes. Top with grated cheese and return to oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.
• Serve with a nice tossed salad for a complete meal.
• Note: The peppers can be stuffed earlier in the day and refrigerated then the final cooking can be done later. They also freeze well. After filling, place in oven proof freezer container, wrap in foil and freeze. When ready to cook, defrost in refrigerator and place in a preheated oven and bake as directed.

SANTE FE CHRISTMAS TURKEY STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet cook the kielbasa over moderate heat, stirring, until it is browned and transfer it with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onions and the celery, stirring, until they are softened and add them to the bowl. In the skillet sauté the pecans in the remaining fat and the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until they are golden and add the mixture to the bowl with the stuffing, the corn bread, the sage, the parsley, and the chilies. Add enough of the broth to moisten the stuffing to the desired consistency and let the stuffing cool completely. Makes about 14 cups, or enough to stuff a 12-to 16-pound turkey with plenty to cook separately for those who like their stuffing less sinfully rich.
• To Roast Peppers
• Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or boil the peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them steam, covered, until they are cool enough to handle. Keeping the peppers whole, peel them starting at the blossom end, cut off the tops, and discard the seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)

SANTA FE TURKEY STUFFED PEPPERS RECIPE

• Directions: In a large skillet brown the turkey and season with salt. When the turkey is browned, add onion, garlic, black beans, cilantro, serrano pepper, diced tomatoes, and cumin. Mix well and simmer on low, covered for 20 minutes. Remove lid, add corn and simmer an additional 5 minutes or until all the liquid reduces. Preheat oven to 350°. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, removing seeds and stem. Place peppers, cut side up in an oven-proof dish. Fill each pepper with 1/2 cup turkey mixture. Pour about 1/3 cup water or chicken broth on the bottom of the dish. Cover tight with foil. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until the peppers become soft. Remove foil, top each with 1 1/2 tbsp of cheese and bake uncovered an additional 5 minutes. Top with scallions and serve with reduced-fat sour cream if desired (optional). Makes 6 servings.
