Method
- Brown. Brown the turkey hard in the oil, breaking it up; add onion for 5 minutes, then garlic, puree, spices and cocoa for 1 minute.
- Simmer. Add tomatoes, beans and stock; simmer 30 minutes until thick and glossy.
- Serve. Season, rest 5 minutes, and serve with yogurt. Rice, baked potatoes or just a spoon all work.
Worth knowingTurkey and black beans stack two kinds of iron in one bowl - the cocoa is a trick pit-masters use for depth, not sweetness.
