Notes

This recipe can be doubled. Use a 9 x 13 pan.
You can use any meat you want. It doesn't have to be turkey.
This is a great dish to freeze portions for a quick meal on a busy day.
You could use canned chiles if you don't want to deal with roasting and peeling fresh poblanos. This will greatly reduce prep time.
Serving suggestion: Mexican rice and corn for your sides.
