Equipment

  • Dutch oven (5–7 qt)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high. Add garlic and sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent and soft.
  3. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains and lightly browned, 5–6 minutes.

  5. Pour in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with chiles, water, and beef broth. Stir and bring to a lively simmer.
