Directions

Prep: 15 min.
Peel Plantains and chop into medium sized chunks. Wash and chop Kale. Peel and chop Onion into medium sized chunks.
Diced Habanero (or similar) into small pieces. Wash hands well after!
Cook: Stovetop - 35 min.
Heat a large pot (6 quarts or larger) over medium high heat. Add Olive Oil and the chopped Onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are partially cooked and begin to look translucent. Add Turkey and season with Salt and Pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the turkey is no longer pink.
