Ingredients:
- 1 lb rebellious turkey
- 1 large onion, chopped to bits
- 2 cloves of raw garlic, minced to oblivion
- 2 medium bell peppers, any color, diced and ready for battle
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or more, if you're feeling particularly fiery)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cans (15 oz each) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (15 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed, ready to join the party
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Optional Toppings: sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions
Instructions:
- Heat Oil in a Large Pot: Use a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Rebel against the mundane.
- Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, crumbling into small pieces. Remove from the pot if you must, but it's not required.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add another tablespoon of oil if needed, then add the onion and bell peppers. Cook until they start to soften, about 4 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute. This is your moment to let the aroma fill the air.
- Combine Ingredients: Add browned turkey back into the pot along with diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine. Don't worry, it's all coming together now.
- Simmer: Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook, covered, for about 30 minutes or until the flavors have melded together and the chili has slightly thickened.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with your desired toppings. It's your chili, your rules.
Notes:
- Adjust Heat: You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less cayenne pepper. Adapt or adapt not, the choice is yours.
- Make Ahead: This chili can be prepared ahead and reheated when needed, and it freezes well for up to 3 months. So go ahead, make a batch and savor the spice whenever the desire strikes you.
