Preparation
Step 1
In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion and jalapeno until soft and beginning to caramelize, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the turkey , Southwest Essence, chili powder, cumin, oregano and bay leaf, stirring occasionally until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Add the broth, canned tomatoes, canned chiles, & all of the canned beans. Simmer for about 30 min.'s and add the cilantro. Simmer 5 min.'s and serve.
I substituted canned beans instead of dry beans to make this recipe easier and faster to make. I also doubled the cilantro and cut out the extra sea salt. It is salty enough with the Southwest essence. If you want more flavor just add more Southwest essence.
