Turkey Chili

Ground turkey was on sale at my local supermarket. Made a batch of chili and have zero regrets. You can totally leave out the beans but I happen to like beans in my chili. 

Let's get started.

Turkey Chili
2 lbs. Ground Turkey
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
6-8 Cloves Garlic, minced
12 Oz. Fire Roasted Tomatoes
16 Oz. Crushed Tomatoes
15 Oz. Kidney Beans
15 Oz. Pinto Beans
3 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 Tbsp. Cumin
1 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika
1 Tbsp. Oregano
2 Tsp. Kosher Salt
2 Tsp. Black Pepper
1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil

Toppings:
Sour Cream
Green Onion
Cheddar Cheese, grated 
Fritos

In a Dutch oven, add in the olive oil and sauté the onion and peppers. Cook until the onion has softened about 3-4 minutes on medium high heat.

Add in the ground turkey, garlic, salt, pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes. Add in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and sauté for an additional minute or two.

Add in the fire roasted tomatoes, and the beans and stir to combine. Let cook for another 35-45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. 

Serve and enjoy.

Side note, if you feel your chili is too watery. Combine 1 tbsp. of corn starch with 1 tbsp. of water to make a slurry and add into your chili. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until your chili has thickened.
