Turkey and Black Bean Stew image

This recipe is a little bit of work, but I think it's worth it for good food. Serve with cooked rice and chopped scallions for garnish.

Time 3h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dried black beans
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 sweet red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups turkey stock
10 ounces skinless boneless turkey breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (I use Recipe 1379 Garlic & Basil Herb Vinegar)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and set aside 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, coat a non-stick Dutch oven with cooking spray. Warm over medium high heat. Add the onions, carrots, green peppers, sweet red peppers, oregano, cumin and garlic.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, 4 to 6 minutes, or until the onions start to soften. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
  • Drain and rinse the beans. Add the beans to the Dutch oven. Add the chicken or turkey stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beans are nearly tender.
  • Add the reserved vegetables and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender.
  • Add the diced turkey, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, vinegar, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until or until the turkey is cooked. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Let stand 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Enjoy!
