Instructions
1. In a large pot on medium-high, heat the olive oil.
2. Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeño to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Add garlic, cumin, coriander, chilli powder and a pinch of salt and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon until no longer pink, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
5. Add crushed tomatillos, broth and bay leaf, reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
6. Add beans, stir to combine and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
7. Once cooked, remove from the heat, add cilantro, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
8. To serve, spoon into bowls and top with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro as desired.
NOTE: If you can’t find crushed tomatillos, tomatillo salsa would work equally well.
