This is the healthy version of this traditional dish, if you want to cook the normal one just substitute the turkey products for pork or beef.

Hola Laura! I was wondering on the pinto beans... what type of red pepper? Is it the dry ones you use for Chile Colorado or fresh? I am assuming fresh right so it can cook with the beans? and do you double the ingredients since above says for 1lb of beans but for your Charro recipe you used 2lbs so would i use 2 red peppers, 4 garlic cloves and 2/8 of an onion to make 2 lbs of beans?
