16 oz ground turkey (93% lean/7% fat)
1 (28-oz) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed with fingers
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup dry black beans, pre-soaked, cooked and drained (OR use 1 [15-oz] can low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained)

Here is how you make Turkey, Black Bean and Quinoa Chili:

In a large nonstick pot off the heat, combine onion, garlic, jalapenos, carrots, and corn kernels. Turn on the burner and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously. (Optional: If veggies are sticking to pan, add a little water. I even happen to really like the smoky taste these little charred bits add to the dish.)Now add in the ground turkey, stirring with wooden spoon as you crumble it in. Cook for about 5 minutes, until meat is browned and cooked through. Stir in spices. Cook about another minute. Add canned tomatoes that you've loosely crushed with your hands. Bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer over medium-low heat. Cover pot and cook for about 20 minutes, or until veggies are quite tender. Now stir in the cooked black beans, cooked quinoa and the hot sauce. Cook for about about 5 minutes, or just until mixture is heated through. Serve and enjoy!.
