Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1 pound ground turkey lean
- 1 Spanish onion diced, large
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or to taste, ground dried
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 ounce crushed tomatoes preferably fire roasted, canned
- 1 ounce Kidney Beans drained and rinsed, dark red, canned
- 1/3 cup maple syrup dark pure
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup cilantro chopped
- Pepitas for garnish, toasted
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until completely browned. Transfer turkey and any juices to a bowl and set aside.
- Return pot to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring often, for 6 to 10 minutes, until onion is soft and browned.
- Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and chipotle and cook, stirring, for 30 to 90 seconds, until spices are fragrant and starting to toast and darken slightly.
- Add vinegar and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until liquid is evaporated.
- Add water and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits and spices from the bottom of the pot.
- Add tomatoes, beans, syrup, and browned turkey, stirring to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 14 minutes, until turkey and onions are tender.
- Serve topped with avocado, cilantro, and pepitas.
