Santa Fe Tapas' Black Bean Turkey Chili
Servings: 4
Directions
- Soak the beans in cool water for two hrs, drain. Put them in a pot and cover with two inches of cool water. Simmer till tender; drain and set aside. Saute/fry red pepper, onions, jalapenos, and garlic in two Tbsp. of oil. Add in the spices and beans.
- Cook approximately 20 min, stirring occasionally. Place half the bean mix in a food processor and process till smooth; return to the rest of the bean mix. Brown the turkey in the rest of the oil till almost cooked through. Add in the tomatoes and cook for 5 more min. Add in turkey to the bean mix, add in the beer, and simmer 15 min.
- Serves 4-5.
- Note: the cut preparationtime, use 3 (15-16 ounce each) cans of black beans, rinsed, and liquid removed.
- I routinely substitute canned tomatoes and jalapenos when fresh aren't available.
