Roast the peppers – Roast the pepper halves in the oven. This will give them a head start on the cooking time so that they don’t need to bake nearly as long once you add the filling. I find everything cooks more evenly this way. When you take the peppers out of the oven there will likely be liquid inside them, pour it out
Make the filling – Sauté the onion and crumble the ground turkey and spices together until the turkey is cooked through. Add in the beans, corn, green chiles and either salsa or enchilada sauce. Stir everything together and the filling is ready.
Stuff the peppers – Divide the filling evenly into the pepper halves. Bake them for 10 minutes then pull them out and top with shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and then serve.
