Before beginning a recipe, I love to set up what’s call the mise en place. It’s when you read over the instructions and prepare everything before you begin to cook so cooking is a smooth process. This is especially helpful with recipes that have quite a few steps. Measure the olive oil and seasonings/spices. Chop the vegetables. Rinse and drain the beans in a colander. Set everything aside to begin the cooking process.
Heat a pot on medium heat. Add the olive oil to heat. Add in the onion, bell pepper, and jalapenos. Sauté until onion are translucent. About 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic. Stir in with the other vegetables.
Add in the ground turkey, chopping it up with a large spoon as it browns.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and the tomato sauce.
Add in the beans.
Stir in all the seasonings/spices.
Lower the heat if necessary. Cook on low to medium for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Enjoy!
