  Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 10 baby carrots
  • 1 chipotle pepper (minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 cups stock (defrosted and defatted)
  • .75 cup tomatoes
  • .75 cup corn
  • 1 cup beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup turkey (defrosted)

  Instructions

  We heat a large pot with the oil over low heat while we halve, peel, and slice our onion, yielding ¾ cup. We add the onions to the pot, stir, and raise the heat to medium-low.

  We slice our carrots - yielding ½ cup - and add to the softened onions. We stir and continue to prep our ingredients.

  We rinse our frozen chipotle pepper, pat dry, and mince. We crush our garlic cloves with the side of our knife, carefully, remove the peels, and mince with a pinch of salt.

  We add the chipotle and garlic to the pot. The onions and carrots are getting tender, so we add the cumin and stir for another minute. Then, we add the turkey stock and raise the heat to medium. We bring the mixture to a boil, add the tomatoes, corn, beans, and turkey, partially cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes. We want the vegetables to be tender and the flavor nicely developed.
