- Prep Time: 15 minutes

- Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium Anaheim green chiles ((sliced in half lengthwise with seeds and white membrane removed))
- ½ small onion ((finely chopped))
- 1 clove garlic ((minced))
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary ((finely chopped))
- 1 large tomato ((diced))
- freshly ground black pepper ((to taste))
- 3 ounces cheddar cheese ((finely shredded))
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the onion & garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the turkey and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the turkey is completely cooked. Gently stir in the sour cream, rosemary, tomato, and black pepper.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Fill the split chiles with the turkey mixture and if you have a grill basket, place the peppers into the basket and place the basket onto the grill. If you do not have a grill basket, carefully place on the pre-heated grill. Grill the peppers until the filling is heated through and the chiles have blackened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Carefully top the peppers evenly with the shredded cheese. Close the grill lid and continue to cook for about 3-5 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted. When the cheese has melted, remove from the grill and serve.

* Wide green chiles are much easier to fill. If possible, select wider peppers in the store.
** To keep the moisture down, I “lazy seed” my tomatoes – while I am chopping the tomatoes, I remove the seeds that are easy to remove. I do not properly seed them by removing all seeds and then setting them aside on paper towels to drain off excess liquid.
