  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  6. 1 teaspoon paprika
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  8. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  9. 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained or use tomato sauce for a thicker sauce
  10. 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed, preferably organic
  11. 1/4 cup ketchup, preferably organic

Instructions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, on high heat. Add the ground turkey and saute until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the turkey is cooked through. Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper and stir until evenly coated. 
  2. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the canned tomatoes with juices (or sauce) and kidney beans and stir. Add the ketchup, salsa, tomato paste, and Sriracha stirring until well combined. Let simmer for at least 20 minutes. The longer it cooks, the spicier it will be. 
  3. Serve over brown rice topped with Greek yogurt and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Servings: 6
