From my good friend Davis Farnsworth, this is a wonderful dish, especially on a cold wet day like today.
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbs. minced garlic (less or more as you like garlic)
1 lb ground turkey. Cheaper ground beef will also work.
1 lb. dry black beans, cooked or 3 (15 oz.) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14.5 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 ½ Tbs. chili powder (less or more as you like chili powder)
1 Tbs. dried oregano
1 Tbs. Italian seasoning or dried basil leaves
1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs. dried parsley
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
If using dry black beans, soak overnight, then cook according to package directions.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the ground turkey; cook and stir until the meat is browned. Add all other ingredients and stir well. Cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook for at least one hour until flavors have melded.
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
Good served with cornbread.
