    3.5 oz package of Shitake Mushrooms diced, 3 Poblano Peppers chopped, 1 sweet onion chopped

    3 Poblano Peppers chopped, 1 lb lean ground turkey, 2 pinches kosher salt, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon allspice, juice of ½ lime
  • Squeeze in the lemon and lime juices and scrap any yummy brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
    juice of ½ lemon

Notes

  • I love the shitake in this, but if you can't get your hands on them, Baby Bellas (cremini) or button mushrooms would be yummy too.
  • I had a half each of lemon and lime because of the other dishes I made alongside. If you only have one or the other just use what you have. The meat needed a splash of acid to help bring it together. Make sure to cook it a bit after you add it to tone down the citrus taste a bit.
