Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 carrot diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 - 15oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 - 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 & 1/2 cups chicken broth (low or no sodium)
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and carrots and sauté 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and ground turkey, breaking up the turkey as it cooks. Cook the turkey until it is no longer pink and starting to brown.
- Add in the black beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato paste, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, salt & pepper, etc. according to your preference.
- Top with whatever you please! I like to use cotija, sour cream, sliced green onions, and cilantro.
Notes
Healthier tip: swap out the sour cream topping for Greek yogurt instead! Instant protein boost!
