Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot

Ingredients

  • 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 can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans; rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans; rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans; rinsed and drained

Optional toppings

  • sour cream
  • jalapenos; sliced
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until onions are softened.
  • Add the ground turkey and stir until the turkey meat is crumbled. Cook until the turkey meat is completely cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and tomato paste. Stir until combined. Add the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and beans. Scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to get any extra bits and pieces.
  • Cover and bring the chili to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, uncover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir very often so the chili doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. If it gets too thick add water to reach your desired consistency. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, enjoy!
