Ingredients

1 tbsp - extra virgin olive oil
1 - yellow onion
2 cloves - garlic
2 tablespoons - chili powder
1 tbsp - cumin
1 tsp - smoked paprika
⅛ tsp - cayenne pepper
1 lb - lean ground turkey
2 cans - cannellini or Great Northern beans
14 ½ ounces - low sodium fire roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups - low sodium chicken broth
1 - lime
¼ cup - cilantro
salt

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 5-6 minutes until onion is translucent and softened. Add the garlic and spices and sauté 30 seconds more.
Add the ground turkey and 1/4 cup water and stir, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
While the turkey is cooking, mash one cup of the rinsed and drained beans in a bowl with a fork. When the turkey is cooked through, add the mashed beans, whole beans, tomatoes and chicken broth, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and simmer 20-30 more minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lime wedges and avocado if desired and enjoy!
