Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean)
- 15 ounces Black beans (canned, drained, and rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Onion (small, diced)
- 1 Bell pepper (diced, any color)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth (low sodium, or water)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey to the other side. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
Stir the vegetables and turkey together, then add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the ingredients evenly in the spices.
Add the black beans, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a filling for burritos, tacos, or over rice, and enjoy!
