Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups bell pepper diced
- 1 cup onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can Kidney Beans dark red

Instructions
- In a 5-6 quart soup pot, add olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is warm, add the green bell peppers and onions, and saute until the onions and peppers start to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper. Saute for 1 minute
- Add crushed tomatoes, beans, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, and corn kernels.
- Simmer on medium-low heat for 2 hours. Add more stock if the chili gets too thick.
- Stir in turkey and rice, and simmer for another 30 minutes just to warm the meat and rice.
- If the mixture looks too thick simply thin out with more chicken stock.
- Serve plain or with cheese, crackers, chips, or sour cream.

Notes
- I used two 90-second microwave long grain and wild rice blend bags from Ben's Original. However, you can use regular cooked wild rice or leftover white rice.
