Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium poblano pepper, diced
- 1 cup canned corn, drained
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove the cooked turkey from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced green bell pepper, and diced poblano pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
Return the cooked turkey to the pot and mix to combine with the vegetables.
Add the canned corn, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Season the mixture with ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or spice to preference.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
