  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 lb. cannellini beans, soaked overnight in water to cover and drained

Directions

  • Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once it’s heated through, add the oil and the onion. Cook the onions for 8–10 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic and the cumin. Cook for 1 minute before adding the turkey meat and the stock.
