1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

4 cups chopped cooked turkey

Cooked long-grained rice for accompaniment

1. Saute the onion, garlic, and peppers in the olive oil until softened. Add the tomatoes and saute for 5 minutes. Add the broth and remaining ingredients, except turkey and ground ground tortilla.
