Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped, most of the seeds removed (a few left for a bit of extra kick!)
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 2 cups canned tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups red kidney beans, cooked (I started with dried)
- 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, and paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- generous pinch cinnamon
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 1/2 cup beer
- 1 tsp bittersweet chocolate
- for toppings: grated cheddar, chopped avocado, sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the vegetables through carrot as they are chopped.
- Next, add the ground turkey and brown, about 10 minutes.
- After the turkey has browned, add the tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, and beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the dried spices, cover and simmer for at least an hour.
- After an hour, add the lime and beer simmer, and simmer for 1 more hour.
- Serve the chili in bowls with the toppings. Avocado is a very nice touch here! I found we needed less cheese and sour cream with the healthy fruit in the mix. Enjoy!
