Savory Turkey Enchilada Stew with Quinoa: A Delicious Twist

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground turkey meat
• One can of enchilada sauce, 19 ounces in size
• A can of black beans, 15 ounces, drained
• A portion of uncooked quinoa, 1 ½ cups
• Diced tomatoes and green chiles in a can, 10 ounces, undrained
• A cup of water
• Frozen corn, one cup
• Salsa, half a cup
• Chopped onion, half a cup
• Green bell pepper, chopped to half a cup
• A tablespoon of chili powder
• Minced garlic, one teaspoon
• Ground cumin, one teaspoon
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend, two cups
• Fresh cilantro, chopped to a third of a cup

Step 1

Start by heating up a generously-sized skillet on medium-high heat. Proceed by stirring and cooking the turkey in the skillet until it turns nicely browned and crumbly, which typically takes around 5 to 7 minutes. Remember to drain and dispose of any excess grease.

Step 2

Next, mix the cooked turkey with flavorful enchilada sauce, hearty black beans, nutty quinoa, diced tomatoes and chiles, a splash of water, sweet corn kernels, zesty salsa, aromatic onion, crisp green bell pepper, a touch of chili powder, pungent garlic, and warm cumin in the welcoming embrace of a slow cooker.

Step 3

Allow this delightful concoction to simmer in the slow cooker on High until the quinoa reaches a tender consistency and all the vibrant flavors meld together harmoniously, usually around 4 hours of cooking time. Finally, gently fold in some decadent Cheddar cheese and fragrant cilantro to elevate the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.
