Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour 1 1/4 cups of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x12 inch baking dish.
- In a large sauté pan, brown the ground turkey over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, chopped tomato, and chopped cilantro to the pan with the turkey. Continue cooking over low heat.
- Stir in the ground cumin, oregano, bay leaf, and additional salt if needed. Add the canned tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- While the filling simmers, prepare the poblano peppers: Cut a lengthwise slit along one side of each poblano pepper. Carefully remove the seeds and core. (You can roast the peppers over an open flame, under a broiler, or in the oven until the skin is blistered, then steam them in a plastic bag for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins, and scrape off the charred skins. This step can be done ahead of time.)
- Carefully stuff about 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture into each prepared poblano pepper.
- Place the stuffed peppers seam-side up over the sauce in the baking dish. Top each pepper with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with cilantro sprigs or chopped scallions.

Roasting and peeling the poblano peppers can be time-consuming. Consider doing this step ahead of time to make weeknight preparation easier.
