Heat a large nonstick pan until it is very hot. Reduce heat to

onion until it softens and begins to brown. Add garlic to onion as it
cooks.

Add red peppers to the onion as it cooks, then cook a few minutes
longer. When pepper begins to soften add the wine; reduce heat and
continue cooking until the peppers are soft, a few minutes
In a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, whisk the remaining
2 teaspoons oil with the vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes.
Stir the corn into the onion mixture and cook a couple of minutes to
heat through.

Add turkey pieces to the bowl with the cooked vegetables and black
beans. Stir in warm, drained pasta. Serve warm.
