  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (14 oz) dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) pumpkin purée

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add in the pepper, onion, celery, and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the rest of the oil and the turkey to the pan. Cook until the turkey begins to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain off any of the liquid.
  3. Add in the spices and cook until the turkey is no longer pink and the spices are fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add in the broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, beans, pumpkin purée, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, and stir until well combined. Then, bring to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, stir in the bay leaves, turn the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once simmered, remove the bay leaves and stir in the parsley. Season to taste with more salt, if desired.
