Black Bean Chili

Sauté in olive oil:

1 Onion, finely Diced
1 or 2 Green Peppers, finely diced  (I used a can of green chilies instead of fresh)

2 or 3 cloves Chopped Garlic, or more, or less.
2 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 or 2 tsp olive oil


1 28oz. Can of Diced Tomatoes
2 cans Black beans 
1 package turkey meat
Salt and Pepper to taste

- Heat the olive oil in a big enough pot to hold all the ingredients
- Saute the onions and the garlic over medium heat until they're soft and the onions are just starting to brown.  Add the turkey meat and saute until cooked through.
- Add the diced tomatoes, beans, and spices and let it simmer over low heat for about an hour, or until the chili has reached the desired thickness. 

Serve with cilantro, avocado, and coconut milk yogurt.
