Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the ingredients
Chop the vegetables, prepare the garlic. If you are using boiled beans, drain them and set them aside; so the cooking goes smoothly.
Saute the turkey meat
Heat a large pot. Add the minced turkey and stir-fry until it changes color; Open the lumps with a spatula.
Add onion and peppers
Add red onion and capia pepper to the pot. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly.
Fry the garlic and spices
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, thyme and cayenne pepper. Mix for 30–60 seconds; When the scent of the spices comes out, move on to the next step.
Add tomatoes and peppers
Add fresh tomatoes and canned tomatoes. Add fresh and other green hot peppers. Mix by scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Add beans and bay and cook
Add black beans and bay leaf. When it boils, reduce the heat, leave the lid ajar and cook gently for 25-30 minutes.
Balance the taste and adjust the consistency
Add honey and brown sugar and mix. If the consistency is too thick, add a little water; If it is too watery, boil it with the lid open for another 5-10 minutes.
Let it rest and serve
Take it off the stove and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Put it in a bowl and serve by adding yoghurt/sour cream and a little lemon juice if you wish.
