I just made a simpler version of this last night, given to me by a friend. It was pretty good and very easy!

I used curry instead of cumin, it worked very well (either would be great, I'm sure).


My friend's method:


What you need:


A package of ground turkey

1 medium yellow onion

Minced garlic (or fresh garlic, but that adds time and doesn’t change the taste)

2 cans of beans (great northern white beans, but any white bean will do)

2 cans of chicken broth (I use the low sodium kind)

1 can of chopped green chiles (usually in the “Mexican” aisle of the supermarket)

Cumin

Olive oil

Pepper sauce (if you want to spice it up, not necessary though – it’s good without it)



How to cook it:



1. Drain and rinse the beans in a strainer
2. Dice the onions
3. Brown the turkey in a sauté pan
4. In a large pot heat the olive oil and then add the garlic, sauté until golden
5. Add the chopped onion and chiles to the pot and sauté for a minute or so until the onions get soft
6. Add 2 tablespoons of cumin and stir it in with the onions/chiles/garlic
7. Add the beans, turkey and chicken broth (in that order so you don’t splash the chicken broth all over)
8. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes
9. Eat it. Or season it with pepper sauce if you want it to be hotter. Then eat it.
