Ingredienser
  

  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat a smoker to 275°F. If using a grill set up for indirect smoking, aim for the same temperature. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Make a lengthwise slit in each poblano and carefully remove the seeds and membranes, keeping the stems intact. Set the peppers aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, egg, 1/4 cup of the onion, half of the minced garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper. Mix just until combined.
  • Divide the turkey mixture among the peppers, gently packing it into each cavity without overfilling. Set the peppers on the prepared baking sheet with the openings facing up.
  • Smoke the stuffed peppers until the turkey filling reaches 165°F at its center, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check with an instant-read thermometer, since cooking time can vary with the size of the peppers and smoker.
  • While the peppers smoke, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/4 cup onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining garlic and the diced jalapeño, then cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, cumin, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cilantro and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Spoon some jalapeño tomato sauce onto a serving platter or individual plates. Place the smoked stuffed peppers over the sauce and spoon the rest over the top.

For a milder sauce, remove all the jalapeño seeds and membranes before dicing. Keep the peppers upright on the baking sheet so the meatloaf filling stays in place, and use a thermometer to confirm the turkey reaches 165°F before serving.
