Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

  • 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 medium zucchini, diced (about 3 1/2 cups)

  • ½ cup bulgur

  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano

  • 4 teaspoons ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 15-ounce cans no-salt-added white beans, rinsed

  • 2 4-ounce cans green chiles, mild or hot

  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Directions

 

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is starting to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Add bulgur, oregano, cumin, coriander, white pepper and salt and cook, stirring, until aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  4. Stir in white beans and chiles, then pour in broth; bring to a boil.

  5. Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and thickened and the bulgur is tender, about 50 minutes.
