1x2x3x

• 1 medium onion - chopped
• 3 cloves garlic - minced
• 1 package ground turkey - extra lean
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
• 16 ounces red kidney beans - drained and rinsed
• 2 cans tomato - salsa-style stewed
• 1 medium green pepper (green capsicum) - diced
• ¾ cup salsa
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

• Take a large saucepan and coat it liberally with cooking spray. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic.
• Cook over medium heat five for minutes (stir occasionally).
• Place the extra lean ground turkey into the saucepan. Add the cumin, chilli powder, and salt (only add salt if wanted).
• Now cook the turkey as directed on the package. It’s safer to cook ground turkey to well done. Add the stewed tomatoes, diced green bell pepper, beans, and salsa.
• For the last steps, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the temperature and simmer in the saucepan (uncovered) for ten minutes (remember to stir occasionally).
