Method

1. 1Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook half the turkey for 7–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned in places. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and turkey. Return both batches to the pan.
2. 2Add the onions and peppers with a pinch of salt and cook for 8 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, chipotle and tomato puree for 2 minutes until the spices smell toasty.
3. 3Add the tomatoes, all the beans and the stock with black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook with the lid off for 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until thick and rich. Crush some of the beans against the side of the pan to thicken it.
4. 4Cook rice only for the people eating now, using 50 g dry rice per person from the listed total. Rinse it and cook in salted boiling water for 10–12 minutes until tender, then drain.
5. 5Taste the chilli and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Check the turkey is hot throughout and reaches 75°C for 30 seconds. Serve over rice with soured cream, lime wedges and torn coriander. Add the optional avocado if using.
6. 6Set aside the chilli being kept for later before adding rice, soured cream or fresh toppings. Divide into shallow portions and cool within 2 hours. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost fully overnight in the fridge and use within 24 hours. Reheat once on the hob, stirring and adding water if thick, until steaming hot throughout. Cook fresh rice using 50 g per person, then add each serving’s share of the soured cream, lime and torn coriander; add avocado only if using.
