• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• pinch of black pepper
• 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
• 11/4 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
• 11/2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, no-salt-added or low sodium
• 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
• garnish: 2% greek yogurt, shredded reduced-fat cheddar, chopped green onion or fresh chives, sliced jalapeno

Method

1. Set a large deep nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and bell pepper
2. Saute until the peppers soften and the garlic turns golden, about 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic
3. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and black pepper, reduce the heat if necessary to avoid burning, and cook for 1 minute
4. It should be very fragrant
5. Add the chilies and cook for an additional 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld together
6. Add the ground meat and break it up with a wooden spatula
7. Cook until it browns and there are no more visible pink pieces of meat, 6 to 8 minutes
8. Pour in the broth, then add the tomatoes and cilantro
9. Stir everything together, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover and cook for at least an additional 8 to 10 minutes
10. If time is not a huge concern for you, I recommend reducing the heat to low, then covering and cooking for at least another 20 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure that it doesn’t burn
11. The flavors will meld together even more!
12. Garnish and enjoy immediately
13. Repeat
14. Serve
