Sloppy-Joe stuffed peppers with wedges



This meal was every bit as tasty as it looks. I love the intense taste of sweet roasted peppers and the turkey and coriander mixture complimented them wonderfully. I used the leftover turkey mince to make some little turkey burgers and fried them to brown them,  then cooked them in the oven. My son James still has a problem with vegetables even though he is 18 years old now. I just cooked the potato wedges from raw for longer rather than parboil them. This was another meal from the tesco real food website. 

Ingredients

Serves 4
600g potatoes, cut into wedges
4 tsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
250g turkey breast mince
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp tomato purée
30g pack fresh coriander, roughly chopped
4 mixed cooking peppers, halved
1 tsp smoked paprika
50g lighter mature Cheddar, grated
370g bag sweet and crunchy salad, to serve


Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins until tender, then drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, cover and cook for 5 mins. Remove the lid, add the turkey mince and increase the heat to high. Cook for 3 mins, stirring, then add the garlic and tomato purée and cook for a further 2 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in most of the coriander and 4 tbsp water; season to taste. Put the pepper halves on a large baking tray and divide the mince mixture between them.
Put the potato wedges on a separate baking tray and toss with the paprika and remaining oil; season. Bake the peppers and wedges for 25 mins, then scatter the cheese over the peppers and turn the potatoes. Bake for a further 10-15 mins until the wedges are lightly golden, the peppers are tender and the cheese has melted. Scatter the peppers with the remaining coriander and serve with the wedges and salad.
