Turn the heat up, add the turkey and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes until no pink is left.
About 5 minutes
-
Stir in the spices and tomato purée, cook for a minute, then add the tomatoes and beans. Fill the tomato tin a third with water and add that.
About 3 minutes

About 20 minutes
-
Serve with avocado and lime if you have them.
About 1 minute
