Instructions
 

  • Brown the turkey with the onion in a large pot.
    20 ounces ground turkey, 1 onion
  • Stir in the cumin, coriander, oregano and cocoa powder. Continue to cook for a few minutes allowing all the flavors to deepen.
    2 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pierce the bag of collard greens to let some of the air out and then massage or bang it with a rolling pin to help break up the frozen collards. (My thought was the smaller the collard pieces the more of a chance the kids would just eat them -- I was right.)
    1 12- ounce bag frozen collard greens
  • Stir in the collards and cook for a few minutes defrosting them in the pot with the ground turkey and onion.
  • Once the greens are mixed in, add all the canned goods and bring to a low boil.
    1 6- ounce can tomato paste, 1 15- ounce can pinto beans, 1 1 o-ounce can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, 1 15- ounce can diced tomatoes
  • Cover and simmer for at least 25 minutes to cook the greens down and combine all the flavors.
  • Serve!
