Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb ground turkey 93 percent lean
  • 794 g crushed tomatoes one 28 oz can
  • 1.5 cup black beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1 each onion diced
  • 1 each bell pepper diced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 3 each garlic clove minced
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Method
 

  1. {'Heat the oil in a heavy pot and brown the turkey hard': 'press it flat, leave it 3 undisturbed minutes until the underside crusts, then break it up.'}
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook 5 minutes until softening.
  3. Clear a space at the pot's bottom, add the garlic, chili powder and cumin into the fat, and stir 30 seconds until the spices smell toasted, not dusty.
  4. Add the crushed tomatoes, broth and a teaspoon of salt. Scrape the pot floor clean while it comes to a simmer.
  5. Simmer uncovered on low for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to mound on a spoon.
  6. Stir in the drained black beans for the final 10 minutes, taste for salt, and serve.
