Well, second favorite to Daddy's, I should say. Don's takes all day to make, so this one is faster and healthier. Everyone in the family loves it. I usually make at least a double batch as it freezes well, also.
Black-Bean Salsa Chili
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2/3 c. water
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 lb. ground turkey
1 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. each chopped green and red pepper
3 slices bacon, diced
1 1/2 T. chili powder
1 T. ground cumin
1 t. oregano
1/8 t. crushed red pepper
1 1/2 c. salsa (I used Trader Joe's medium)
3 T. tomato paste
14 oz. beef broth
1/2 c. reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1 t. lime juice
Combine 1 1/2 c. beans, the water and sugar in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Cook turkey in a stockpot until browned. Remove from pan and add onion, peppers and bacon. Cook 5 minutes and return turkey. Add spices, stir well to coat. Stir in bean mixture, beans, salsa, tomato paste and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine sour cream, cilantro and lime juice. Serve on top.
I served this with cornbread muffins.
