Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the ground turkey and break up into small chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the onion and cook for 5 minutes longer.

Add the garlic and spices, and cook for 30 seconds, then add the tomato paste and cook 1 minute more.

Add the butternut squash, chicken stock, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then add the beans. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until thickened and the squash is tender.

Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro and lime, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
