Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can diced tomatoes with juice

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

In a medium Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until they’re just limp and some of the edges are browned, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic cloves and jalapeño. When the onion mixture is ready, add the mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until tender and light brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and fragrant, about 1 minute. Loosely break apart the ground turkey and add it to the pot. Gently stir until slightly more separated and coated with the other ingredients. Stir in the tomato purée and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low or low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the drained white beans and the balsamic vinegar. Taste and add more cayenne, salt, and pepper or another 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar to taste. Garnish with sour cream, snipped chives, and shredded Cheddar cheese, if you like.
