  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound organic ground turkey

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can) diced tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 (16 oz) jar Old St Augustine Snake Bite Medium Datil Pepper Salsa
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (16 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (16 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (16 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • Sour cream, for garnish, if desired
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.  Add ground turkey and cook until browned.  Approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic to pan and cook another few minutes.
  • Transfer meat mixture to a large crock pot or a Dutch oven.
  • If using a crock pot, turn on high to cook for three to four hours, or on low to cook six to eight hours.  On the stove, if using a Dutch oven, cook over medium heat, then reduce to low once it starts to bubble.
  • Add cumin and salt to pot.
  • Drain all three cans of beans in a colander and rinse thoroughly to remove all the starch, sodium, and sauce.
  • Add drained beans to the pot and cover.
  • Cook desired length of time.
  • Serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and jalapenos if desired.
  • Remember, this is always better the second day if you can wait that long to eat it!
