It’s summertime, which means poblanos are in season! And as always, I throw a few in my grocery basket each week even if I don’t have a recipe in mind for them. I like to stuff them with ground meat, chop them up for hash, or in this case, dice them for a delicious summer one-skillet meal. 

I find during the summer months I use the same ingredients in almost all my meals, just repurpose them in different ways. Poblanos. Zucchinis. Limes. Lemons. Basically everything in this recipe. 

If you are a weekly reader, you will know that sometimes these posts are living diary entries. *Forgive me last week for a post riddled with grammar issues.* Other times, they are short and sweet to immortalize a recipe I have been making consistently. This is one of those posts. Short, *savory, and oh so delicious. 

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. ground turkey

1 zucchini

1 white onion

1 poblano pepper 

3 cloves garlic

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups chicken bone broth

1 cup shredded cheddar

INSTRUCTIONS

• Dice onion and poblano pepper. Mince garlic. And slice zucchini into rounds. 
• In a large pan with a lid, heat a generous amount of olive oil. 
• Add onion and garlic to the pan first, cooking 2-3 minutes until the onion starts to be translucent. Then add the poblano pepper and sliced zucchini. Cooking another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini starts to wilt. 
• Push the veggies to the side and add in ground turkey. Using a meat masher to break it up. 
• Gently combine the turkey with the veggies. 
• Once the turkey is completely cooked through, toss the mixture with a generous amount of cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. 
• Then add the dry rice to the pan and mix together. 
• Pour the bone broth on top of everything and turn up the heat, bringing the pan to a quick boil.
