Instructions

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat; add oil. When hot, add onion and peppers; sauté until softened and lightly charred or golden in spots, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add turkey; brown meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in cumin, oregano and salt; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in canned tomatoes, beans and water; bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors, about 5 minutes.
