What's so special about them, anyway?
Anaheim peppers are also known as California or New Mexico peppers. They are great additions to any Latin, Central American, or Tex-Mex dish.
They will add bright pops of color (green or red) and taste great.
Also, they will add a little heat but not too hot. They are soft and delicious.
Suppose you're in the mood for Mexican-American flavor, but don't want to set your mouth on fire. In that case, try these Anaheim pepper recipes.
Anaheim peppers are a great option for stuffed peppers.
They are a bit hotter than bell peppers, but not too hot to enjoy. Plus, they're the perfect size for stuffing.
They are cheesy and meaty and have the perfect blend of spices for maximum flavor. Since you'll be making them with ground turkey, they're also pretty healthy.
If you have never eaten stuffed chiles before, they are a lot like stuffed peppers. They are actually stuffed peppers, just very specific fried stuffed peppers.
