Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 15 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup corn kernels, drained (canned or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken or vegetable broth, black beans, corn, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
