Preparation

Step 1

In Dutch oven cook onions, garlic and jalapeno in hot oil over medium-high heat for 5 or 6 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring frequently. Stir in chili peppers, chili powder, oregano and cayenne pepper, cooking for 1 minute. Mash one can of the beans. Add all of the beans and broth to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in turkey. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Serve topped with cheese.

NOTE:
I used 2 cans of shredded chicken. I think I used 1 can of beans and 3 boxes. Good!
