Ingredients
  

  • 2 med yellow onions – diced
  • 1/2 each green, red and yellow bell pepper – diced
  • 5 cloves garlic – finely diced
  • 1/2 cup chili powder good quality
  • 3 TB ground cumin
  • 1.5 TB smoked paprika
  • 1 TB cayenne pepper optional
  • 3 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 TB Better Than Beef boullion
  • 3 4oz hatch green chilis (2 mild, 1 hot)
  • 2 15oz black beans – rinsed
  • 2.5 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
  • 2 28oz petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 14oz crushed tomatoes
  • 2 TB tomato paste
  • 32 oz chicken stock
  • 12 oz Yuengling beer
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • olive oil
  • salt / pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium high heat and cook the turkey, breaking it up into small pieces while cooking. When the turkey is cooked, remove to a dish and cover.
  • Add another drizzle of Olive Oil to the pot and add the onions. Cook the onions for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Lightly salt and pepper the veggies. Add the spices and stir, toasting the spices for 2 minutes. It’s important to keep the spices moving during this step.
  • Add the Crushed and Diced tomatoes, chicken stock, Hatch green chilis, beer, tomato paste, Beef Bullion, and Black Beans.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring every 7minutes. Taste for salt. This is an important part of the process. The chili still has liquid to cook out, so it will thicken and intensify in flavor. I like to get my salt close at this stage, and then do my final salt at the very end.
  • At this stage you’re looking for balance in the spice ratio. I usually end up adding more chili powder and Cayenne.
  • Add your turkey to the chili, juice and all. Simmer the chili for at least 45 minutes or to desired thickness.
  • Final salt and pepper. Serve topped with extra sharp cheddar cheese, diced red onion and
