Turkey and Rice Bowl with Chocolate Chili Sauce
Ground turkey simmered with cumin and chili powder over cilantro-lime rice, finished with a chocolate-tinged chili sauce built from cocoa powder, dried chili and canned tomato. Served with black beans, avocado and pickled jalapeno for a savory-bitter, mildly spiced bowl balancing rich mole-style depth against fresh, sharp toppings.

Instructions
1
Prep
Mince the garlic and chop the onion. Stem and seed the dried chili. Measure out the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, cocoa powder and canned tomatoes.
2
Sear
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until no pink remains.
3
Sauté
Push the turkey to one side, add the garlic and onion to the cleared space, and cook over medium heat 2 minutes until the onion turns translucent and the garlic smells nutty.
4
Simmer
Add the canned tomatoes, cocoa powder, cumin and torn dried chili to the skillet. Simmer over medium-low heat 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Plate
Spoon the rice into a bowl, top with the turkey and chocolate chili sauce, then scatter the black beans, avocado, cilantro and pickled jalapeno over the top. Squeeze the lime juice over the bowl, season with salt, and serve immediately while hot.
