Step-by-Step Method

7-step method
01

Prep the beans

Sort and rinse the dried black beans. If you can, soak them in water for 8–12 hours, then drain and rinse again for more even cooking.

02

Sauté the vegetables

Heat olive oil in a large pot. Cook the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add carrot and bell peppers and sauté for another 4–5 minutes.

03

Bloom garlic and spices

Stir in garlic, oregano, and cumin. Cook for about 30–45 seconds, just until fragrant—keep it moving so it doesn’t scorch.

04

Brown the turkey

Add the turkey pieces. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring, until the outside is no longer pink and lightly browned.

05

Add tomatoes, beans, and liquid

Mix in the tomatoes and beans. Pour in hot water/stock to cover (about 6 cups), bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

06

Simmer until thick

Keep the lid slightly ajar. Simmer for 1.5–2 hours, until the beans are tender and the stew thickens. Add a little hot water if the pot gets too dry.

07

Finish and season

Near the end, stir in the white wine vinegar and basil. Season with salt, simmer 5 minutes more, then let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
