Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels, drained (canned or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces.
Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken or vegetable broth, black beans, corn, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
Add the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
