Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
salt
pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 red onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can chopped whole tomatoes, with juice
1/2 chipotle chile in adobo, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce (from chipotle pepper jar)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 (14 -15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
3 scallions, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the turkey and a bit of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon, and cook, stirring, another 3 minutes or until the water evaporates and the turkey sizzles.
2. Add the onion, garlic, and a bit of salt. Cover and cook until the onion is wilted, 5-7 minutes. (If the onion or spices stick to the pan, add 2 tbs water and scrape with a wooden spoon).
3. Add the tomatoes, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, water, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook, partially covered, 25 minutes. Stir in the beans and cilantro and cook 15 more minutes.
4. Optional: Serve with a spoonful of yogurt, scallions, cilantro, grated bittersweet chocolate, and/or tortilla chips.
