Like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, piri piri originates in Portugal. Unlike them, piri piri seasoning is delicious and not at all dead. It lives deliciously mixed with healthy ground turkey, tomatoes, and shallots, filling fresh poblanos with mighty flavor. Some Portuguese get straits named after them; this Portuguese seasoning gives you straight sensory delight. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using Impossible Burger, follow same instructions as ground turkey in Step 3, breaking up burger until warmed through, 7-9 minutes.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as ground turkey in Step 3, breaking up meat until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using diced chicken, pat dry. Follow same instructions as ground turkey in Step 3, stirring occasionally until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and mince shallot.

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Trim cucumber and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Stem poblano peppers, halve lengthwise, and remove seeds. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  2. 2

    Start the Peppers

    Place peppers on prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Spray peppers with cooking spray.

    Roast in hot oven until peppers are tender, but not completely cooked, 10-12 minutes.

    Don't worry if peppers char a bit; this adds flavor to the dish.

    While peppers roast, make filling.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground turkey, demi-glace, 1/4 cup water, shallot, tomatoes, and seasoning blend to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until browned and turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 7-9 minutes.

    Remove from burner and let cool, 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Peppers

    Carefully, flip peppers cut-side up and distribute filling evenly among halves. You may not use all the filling.

    Roast again until peppers are fork-tender, 8-10 minutes.

    While peppers roast, make cucumber sauce.

  5. 5

    Make Cucumber Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cucumber, 2 tsp. lime juice, 1 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing peppers with cucumber sauce and feta. Squeeze lime wedges over dish to taste. Bon appétit!
