Mexicali Stuffed Peppers

Sooooo thankful for the wonderful resource that Elana at elanaspantry.com has become!  She is ciliac and has done tremendous research into cooking delicious and healthy....she has forever banished the idea that healthy has to be boring and bland.....this recipe demonstrates it well.  Her version of this recipe can be found here.
  Below is my rendition and my own way of making it happen!  This comes together quickly in the food processor.
6-8 sweet bell peppers (green, orange, red or yellow)
2 (4 oz.) cans diced green chiles or home canned jalapeno peppers according to taste.
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
½ cup onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
  1. In food processor chop chiles, cilantro, onion, cumin, chili powder and salt
  2. Combine chili/cilantro mixture with turkey.
  3. Cut the tops off of the peppers and set aside
  4. Place peppers in an baking dish
  5. Stuff the peppers with the turkey mixture; place tops on peppers to close
  6. Bake at 350° for 1 hour
  7. Serve with Green Chili (Brown) Rice
