• 1 large onion, diced

In a large frying pan, heat the oil on medium high. Cook the diced onion for 2 minutes, adding in the pepper. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned (no longer pink); salt and pepper to taste. Add the cumin.

Spray the inside of the crock pot with cooking spray. Add the meat mixture, the Sweet Heat beans (do not drain), plus drained beans. Cook on LO for 6-8 hours, or on HI for 4-5 hours.
