Total Time: 1 hr 35 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 1 white onion, chopped
  3. 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  4. 1 teaspoon sofrito
  5. 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
  6. 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
  7. 1 cup water, plus more if desired
  8. ¾ (6 ounce) can tomato paste, divided
  9. 1 cup chopped cashews
  10. 2 teaspoons chili powder, or more to taste
  11. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  12. 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  13. 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  14. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic and sofrito into the onion; saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Push the mixture to the side of the saucepan.
  2. Break turkey into pieces and add to the saucepan in the space free of the onion mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir tomatoes, water, and about 3/4 of the tomato paste into the turkey mixture until even in color; add cashews, chili powder, cumin, and cocoa powder. Stir mixture to incorporate seasoning, place the lid on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer, stirring frequently and adding water to thin as desired, until the tomatoes are breaking down, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Sofrito is available in a jar, though not paleo. Make your own with peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro.
