Description

This hearty chili really hits the spot with its unique flavors and 2 kinds of beans. It's not really spicy at all. It's healthier than beef chili but you can't even tell that it's made with ground turkey.

Ingredients

• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 T. chili powder
• 1 t. oregano
• 1 t. cumin
• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 4 chipotle peppers from canned chipotles in adobo, chopped*
• 1 T. adobo sauce from the can
• 2 - 14.5 oz. cans fire roasted diced or crushed tomatoes (or 1 of each)
• 1 can black beans, drained
• 1 can kidney beans, drained
• 1 c. water
• 1/2 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
• sea salt, to taste

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened. Add turkey, chipotles and adobo sauce; continue to cook over medium-high heat, breaking up turkey, until turkey is cooked through. Stir in tomatoes, beans, water, cocoa powder and sea salt; bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer partially covered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Serve with desired chili toppings.
3. *This chili isn't very spicy, but if wanting even less spice, use 2-3 chipotle peppers instead of the 4.
