2 pounds Ground Turkey
1 onion, medium, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 (16-ounce) can tomato, whole, undrained
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 cups chicken stock, homemade
1 red chili pepper, fresh Anaheim, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons chili powder or more to taste
1 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 apples, green, peeled, and chopped
2 cups pinto beans or red beans, cooked, or 1 16-ounce can, drained

This is an easy, very tasty dish, and turkey is much lower in fat than beef of pork. You can use strips of leftover roast turkey instead of uncooked ground turkey, about 4 cups, and add it to the beans for the last 10 minutes of cooking time. To use dried beans, cover 1 cup of beans with water and simmer for 1 hour or until tender they will yield 2 cups cooked.

1. Combine all ingredients except apples and beans in large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir frequently to break up the turkey and tomatoes.
2. Add apples and simmer covered for another 20 minutes. Add beans and cook 10 minutes longer.
