Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a dutch oven or large pot over just above medium heat.
  2. Add onion and pepper and cook several minutes, until softened.
  3. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add ground turkey and cook until mostly browned but some pink still remains. Add all spices (chili powder, ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt) and stir until well distributed through the turkey/veggies.
  5. Make a small space in the bottom of your pan and add the tomato paste. Cook this, stirring occasionally, about 30-60 seconds (until caramelized and deeper in color).
  6. Add Worcestershire sauce, beans, tomatoes, and chilis.
  7. Slowly drizzle in chicken broth, stir well, bring to a simmer.
  8. Allow chili to simmer for 30 minutes before serving (flavor develops as it simmers!).
  9. Serve warm, topped with desired toppings (don’t skip the sour cream!)

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. This chili may also be frozen, allow it to cool then place in an airtight container, seal tightly, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. I usually press a piece of parchment paper directly against the surface of the chili before sealing and freezing to help prevent frostbite. I will thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it on the stove top.
