Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (no salt added recommended), undrained
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 14-ounce can black beans, drained
  • 1 14-ounce can kidney beans, drained

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. 
  • Add the bell pepper, jalapeno, and carrot. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened but are still al dente, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Push the vegetables off to one side of the pot to clear a space for the ground turkey. Place the ground turkey on the hot surface and allow it to brown untouched for 2 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the meat and allow it to brown on the other side for 1 minute. Break up the meat into large chunks and stir it into the vegetables. Don't allow the turkey to cook through just yet.
  • Add the garlic and all of the seasonings (chili powder through red pepper flakes). Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken broth and beans. Bring the chili to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook at a gentle boil for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the cover and cook at a gentle boil for 10 minutes uncovered (if necessary, increase the heat).
  • Taste chili for flavor and add sea salt and/or additional chili powder to taste. Serve heaping bowls of chili with cooked bacon (thick-cut recommended), cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, red onion and green onion.
