• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned, about 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Add 1 more tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove to the bowl with the mushrooms and wipe out the skillet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and shallot; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the parsley and cook until the sauce has thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the onions and coriander and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
• While the onions cool, mash the white beans with a potato masher or fork in a medium-size bowl until they have the consistency of chunky mashed potatoes. Add the salt, chile, garlic, lime juice, and cooled onions and mix well. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
• Divide the filling evenly among the poblanos, using a small tablespoon to stuff the filling into each nook and cranny of the peppers.
