  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatillos
  • 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14 ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water or chicken broth

  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Cheese, shredded
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado, diced
  • Cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat, warm the olive oil, then add the turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula, for 4-5 minutes until no longer pink and mostly cooked through.
  2. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño, stir to mix with the ground turkey, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper, stir to coat the turkey mixture, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the crushed tomatillos, white beans, and broth, and stir until well combined. Reduce the temperature to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once cooked, add the freshly chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice, and stir to combine. Then taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
