Tex-Mex Turkey Stuffed Green Peppers

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 ¼ cups water (2 ¼ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 5.

• While rice cooks, place green peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle each half with oil; rub all over to coat. Season with salt and pepper, then arrange cut sides down. • Roast on top rack until browned and softened, 15-18 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add turkey*, garlic, and Southwest Spice Blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in tomato paste, stock concentrates, and ⅓ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until mixture is slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

• Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 1 TBSP butter. Add to pan with turkey mixture and stir until thoroughly combined; season with salt and pepper. • Once green peppers are done roasting, remove sheet from oven. Carefully flip and stuff halves with up to half the filling (save the resPepperst for serving). Nestle each stuffed pepper in pan with remaining filling. TIP: If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer stuffed peppers and filling to a baking dish now. • Evenly sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Transfer pan to top rack and roast until cheese melts, 3-4 minutes.
