These are my wannabe version of chile rellenos - roasted green chilies stuffed with cheese! No eggy-floury mess or extra unnecessary cholesterol to worry about with this version of chile rellenos.
There is an abundance of peppers in Turkey - spicy peppers, dolma peppers, and these flavorful but not spicy green peppers that resemble an Anaheim pepper. These faux chile rellenos are delicious, a perfect main dish to go with your beans and rice.
