Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

- Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and add the drained pinto beans. Simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Stir in the chopped kale and apple cider vinegar. Simmer until the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider serving with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
