Domenica's Savory Turkey Chili

2 tablespoons Lucini Italia Organics™ extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 to 3 teaspoons red chili flakes
3 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 tablespoon organic soy sauce1 jar Lucini Italia Organics™ plum tomatoes (whole or diced)
2 15 oz. cans organic black beans
2 15 oz. cans of organic kidney beans
1/4 to 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth
Optional: Jack or cheddar cheese, chopped fresh onion or sour cream for topping

In a heavy-bottomed pot, sauté onion, cumin, and pepper over medium heat with extra virgin olive oil. Do not let onions brown. As onions become soft, about five minutes, add garlic and cook about two minutes. Add ground turkey. Stir and smash up turkey. Add soy sauce. Add tomatoes (if using whole rough chop into quarters). Add beans and water or broth. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Serve with grated sharp cheddar or Jack cheese, chopped fresh onion and sour cream

Best Cornbread Recipe

1 cup pastry flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 egg
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then mix the flour, cornmeal and baking powder together in a medium sized bowl until the mixture has a yellowish tint to it.
2. In a seperate bowl of the same size, stir the egg, oil, honey, and milk until fluffy. Scoop the flour out of the first bowl into the bowl with the liquids.
3. Mix the flour in thoroughly until no flour chunks are visible and the mixture is light and fluffy. Oil a cake or brownie pan and pour the mixture in. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. When the cornbread is done it should be golden brown and when you peirce it in the middle with a fork if the fork comes clean then it’s done. If the fork comes out with dough on it, then it still needs to cook longer.
