Instructions
- Peel, crush and mince the garlic.

- Rinse and drain the canned black beans and set aside.
- Add the garlic, diced red onion, red pepper strips and the olive oil to a large soup pot and plan on the stove.
- Turn on the stove to medium heat and saute until the onion and peppers become soft.
- Add the ground turkey, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the pot. Break up the turkey with a wooden spoon as it browns.
- Once the ground turkey is brown all over, add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken/turkey stock, and black beans to the pot. Stir together the ingredients and cook over low-medium heat for 20 minutes with the lid on.

Notes
- Chili powder is not the same as ground chili pepper. Chili powder is a spice blend, whereas ground chili pepper is made exclusively of ground, dried chilis.
- Ground turkey can easily be substituted for ground chicken in this recipe.
- Black beans can be substituted for 1-2 cups of sweet potato or pumpkin.
