Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil to a Dutch oven/soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up as you go along.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. 
  4. Add in the beans, Rotel, and water (or chicken broth). Increase heat to high and bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes with the lid slightly open, stirring occasionally. 
  5. Prep the toppings while the chili is cooking.
  6. Season with salt & pepper as needed, then serve with toppings and enjoy. 

Notes

  • Skip or reduce the cayenne pepper if you prefer a milder chili. Original Rotel does have a bit of spice as well, so this one has a bit of a kick. Most chili powders are mild but be sure yours is if you're going to add the cayenne pepper and are concerned about spice levels.
