Yield:8

INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cubanelle or green bell peppers, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 - 1 tsp ground chipotle pepper
Kosher salt
2 x 28 oz can diced tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted)
3 x 15 oz can beans (such as black, kidney, red or pinto), rinsed
low-fat sour cream, to serve
sliced scallions, to serve
chopped jalapenos, to serve
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onion, peppers and garlic until tender, 4-6 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 3-5 minutes.

  2. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, chipotle pepper and 1/2 tsp salt and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes (with their juices), 1/2 cup water and the beans, and bring to a boil.

  3. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 12-15 minutes. Serve with sour cream, scallions and jalapenos, if desired.
