Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 jalapeño minced, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 28 ounces tomato sauce
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 15 ounces Kidney Beans drained, canned
Instructions
- Add the turkey to a large, deep, non-stick pot over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking the meat up. if you're not using a non-stick pot, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the pot before adding the turkey to prevent sticking.
- Add in the onion, jalapeno, and garlic and continue cooking, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through.
- Add the chili powder, salt, and cumin and stir well to coat the meat in the spices.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or longer over low heat, until ready to serve.
- Serve with cheddar, sour cream, and extra jalapenos as desired.

Notes
- I recommend simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes. The longer it cooks, the more flavorful and tender the meat gets.
- Use hot or mild chili beans in place of the kidney beans if desired.
