Ingredients
    2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
    4 ounces dried tart cherries, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
    2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapenos
    1 lb ground turkey
    1 roasted red pepper, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 teaspoon dried mustard
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    4 cups chopped fire-roasted tomatoes
    1 (16 ounce) can black beans
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Preparation
    Heat 1 cup of broth. Place cherries in small bowl. Add hot broth and set aside.
    Heat olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; saute until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno; cook 1 minute. Do not brown. Add turkey; cook until it is no longer pink.
    Add bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, coriander, mustard and oregano. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and remaining broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes.
    Stir in beans, cilantro and cherry mixture. Continue cooking until thoroughly heated.
