Method
Soften the veg.
Heat the oil in a large deep pan over medium-high.
Add the onion and peppers and cook for 6 to 7 minutes until softened and starting to colour.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Brown the turkey.
Push the veg to the side and add the turkey mince.
Break it up and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until it loses its pink and starts to catch a little on the base.
Turkey thigh mince stays juicier than breast here, so let it brown properly.
Build the spice base.
Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika and chipotle paste.
Cook for a minute so the spices toast and coat the meat.
Simmer.
Add the chopped tomatoes, black beans and stock.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer, then drop to low and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the sauce thickens and the flavour deepens.
Finish.
Off the heat, stir through the lime juice.
Taste and adjust the salt.
Scatter the coriander over the top.
Serve.
Serve a quarter per person.
Good on its own as a brothy bowl, or over cauliflower rice for a bigger plate.
