Ingredients

• 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1 Yellow Onion, Chopped

• 3 Cloves Garlic, Minced

• 1 Med. Red Bell Pepper, Chopped

• 1lb 99% Lean Ground Turkey

• 1 tsp Turmeric

• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

• 4 tbsp Chili Powder

• 2 tsp Cumin

• 1 tsp Dried Oregano

• 1/2 tsp Salt

• 1 (28oz) Can Diced or Crushed Tomatoes

• 1 1/4 Cups Chicken Broth

• 2 (15oz) Cans Dark Red Kidney Beans, Rinsed/Drained

Directions

1. Sauté the vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add:

• Onion
• Bell pepper
• Garlic

Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

2. Brown the meat

Add the ground turkey.

Break it apart with a spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.

3. Bloom the spices

Add:

• Chili powder
• Cumin
• Oregano
• Turmeric
• Black pepper
• Salt

Stir continuously for about 30 seconds. This helps bring out the flavor of the spices.

4. Add the remaining ingredients

Stir in:

• Tomatoes
• Chicken broth
• Kidney beans

Bring to a gentle boil.

5. Simmer

Reduce heat to low.

Simmer uncovered or partially covered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Taste and adjust

Taste and add:

• More salt if needed
• Extra black pepper if desired

Optional topping ideas

• Sliced green onions
• Plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
• Fresh avocado
• Chopped cilantro
• A squeeze of lime juice

The lime at the end would be a great addition! It would brighten all the flavors and pair really well with the ginger, turmeric, and tomatoes. 🌶️🍅🥬🫘
