Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 lb mushroom, coarsely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup dry red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons dried leaf basil
2 teaspoons dried savory
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons masa harina
steamed rice, for serving (or robust boiled beans)

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, chile flakes, cumin and coriander and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
Add turkey and mushrooms, increase heat to high and saute until turkey is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring to break meat into rough chunks.
Stir in remaining ingredients except masa and steamed rice.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fairly thick but still slightly liquid, about 1 1/4 hours.
Sprinkle in masa, stir and simmer until thick, about 15 minutes more.
Discard bay leaves.
Serve over rice or robust boiled beans.
