  • 4 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic; cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened.

  3. Stir in brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste until well combined.
