Spicy Black Bean Stew w/ Turkey
This stew is a classic case of “it don’t look so pretty but is sure as hell tastes great!”. I love how incredibly simple this recipe is! It’s also an easy recipe to make adjustments to if, for example, you don’t like cilantro (how dare you!) or maybe, like my grandmother, you don’t handle spicy very well. AND, it’s basically just black beans, veggies, and some lean meat so it’s a great light meal.

Instructions
- Step 1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion to saute for about 4 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and jalapeno. Continue stirring for ~1 minute.
- Step 3
Add in the cumin and cayenne and continue to stir for about 2 minutes.
- Step 4
Pour in all of the black beans, vegetable stock, and half of the cilantro. Bring to a boil.
- Step 5
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Then remove from heat.
- Step 6
While the black bean mixture has just a few minutes left, cook your ground turkey until done.
- Step 7
Optional: take half of the black bean mixture (or all if you want it extra smooth) and process it in a food processor or blender until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Step 8
Mix the pureed black bean stew back in with the rest of the stew and stir in the ground turkey, remaining cilantro, and lime juice.

Salt & pepper to taste and ENJOY!!

I love mine topped with a dollop of plain greek yogurt and a good serving of sriracha sauce.
