 Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Stews, Chocolate, Dairy
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 tb Olive oil
      1 lb Ground turkey
           Salt & pepper
      2 ts Chilli powder
      1 ts Ground cumin
      1 ts Dried oregano
        pn Ground cinnamon
      1 c  Onion; fine chopped
      3 cl Garlic; chopped
      2    Carrots; 1/2" dice
     14 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/juice
    1/2    Chipotle en adobo; seeded,
           - chopped
           +=WITH=+
    1/2 ts Chipotle sauce
      3 c  Water
      1 tb Cocoa powder
     28 oz Canned pinto beans; drained,
           - rinsed
    1/2 c  Cilantro; chopped
           Bittersweet chocolate;
           - grated for serving
      3    Scallions; chopped
    1/2 c  Yogurt; for serving
           Tortilla chips; garnish
 
  In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over MED
  heat. Add the turkey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper and
  cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add the chilli powder, cumin,
  oregano and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or
  until the water evaporates and the turkey sizzles.
  
  Add the onion, garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover and cook
  until the onion is wilted, about 5-7 minutes. If the onion
  or the spices begin to stick to the pan add 2 tbsp of water
  and scrape with a wooden spoon to release.
  
  Add the carrots, tomatoes, chipotle, water, and cocoa powder.
  Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to LOW, and cook, partially
  covered, for 25 minutes. Stir in the beans and 1/2 cup
  cilantro, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
  
  Spray a whole wheat tortilla with cooking spray (I used
  an 8 grain tortilla) and season with salt and pepper (or
  cayenne and ground cumin). Slice thinly and bake in a
  preheated 400 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until crispy.
  
  To serve, ladle into a soup bowl and grate a tiny bit of
  chocolate over the top. Top with scallions, the remaining
  cilantro, and a spoonful of yogurt.
  
  Risa's notes: I used Penzey's Chili 3000 seasoning, Mexican
  oregano, and black soybeans.
