Do this

  1. 1Heat a saucepan or deep skillet on medium-high. Add oil, then turkey. Break it up. Cook 6–8 minutes until no pink remains.
  2. 2Add salsa, rinsed beans, water, and salt. Stir. It should look like a thick soup, not dry meat.
  3. 3Turn heat to low so it gently bubbles (not a violent boil). Lid on if you have one. Cook 20 minutes, stirring every 5 so the bottom does not stick.
  4. 4Taste. Want it soupier? Add a splash of water. Want it thicker? Lid off, 5 more minutes.
  5. 5Serve in bowls with cheese. Cool leftovers, then fridge in containers — up to 3 days. Reheat until steaming.
