Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 green bell pepper, roughly chopped
• 5 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
• Kosher salt
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 (28 -ounce) can dice fire-roasted tomatoes
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 (15 -ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips, plus more for topping
• Sour cream and cheddar cheese, for topping (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste, chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until the mixture darkens, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup water, the bell pepper, scallion whites and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Stir the tomatoes, chicken broth, beans and crushed tortilla chips into the pot; bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in all but a few tablespoons of the scallion greens and season with salt. Top with more crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, cheddar and the remaining scallion greens.
