For another flavor boost, add and additional cup of chicken broth to the pot when you're soaking your beans.


Directions

-Soak the pinto beans the night before, or do a quick soak the day of if you prefer
-In a large skillet, pour a small amount of the chicken broth; add the chopped onion, carrot, jalepeno, bell pepper, and garlic and begin to sautee over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
-Add ground turkey to the skillet mixture and cook about 5 more minutes, stirring frequently (You want the turkey to begin to brown but not cook completely)
