Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I really loved how this turned out! I used turkey with a bit more oil as indicated in the nota, and I also added some ground chipotle pepper to the turkey with the other seasoning. I didn't quite have enough liquid from the tomatoes to finish cooking the potatoes, so I did have to add a little more water, and it turned out fantastic. I had some leftover black beans from making Frijoles Colados, and threw them in at the end. It's great!
