Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Begin by chopping your veggies—onions, bell peppers, and garlic—into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic; cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are fragrant and translucent.
- Crumble 1 pound of ground turkey into the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned and no longer pink.
- Toss in your chopped bell peppers along with the diced tomatoes and optional corn. Sauté everything together for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Toast the spices in the mixture for 1 minute to awaken their flavors, stirring continuously.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and add 1 can of rinsed black beans. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
Notes
Optional: Top with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
