Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the peppers; scoop out and discard the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush peppers inside and out with oil and season lightly. Arrange upright in a prepared 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the rice according to package directions using the broth instead of water. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground turkey to the skillet. Break it up and cook until no longer pink throughout. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
  5. Stir in the drained green chiles, minced chipotle, black beans, and corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Fold in the cooked rice and the salsa. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Generously spoon the turkey mixture into the hollowed-out bell peppers. Add about ¼ inch of water or broth to the bottom of the baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese evenly over the tops, and return to the oven (uncovered) for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the peppers are tender.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro and serving hot.
