Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion; diced
  • 4 tsp. garlic; minced
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 28 ounce can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans; rinsed and drained

  • 15 ounce can pinto beans; rinsed and drained
  • sour cream (optional)
  • jalapenos; sliced (optional)
  • shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic; cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pot; stir until the turkey meat is crumbled. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Mix in brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste; stir until everything is combined.
  4. Pour in beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and all beans; scrape any bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Cover your pot; bring the chili to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low after boiling; uncover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking; add water if needed to adjust thickness.
