· 2 lb. ground turkey
· 2 tbsp extra version olive oil
· 1 onion, coarsely chopped
· 2 medium cloves garlic, chopped
· ½ tbsp ground hot red chili (I use the Chilpolte chili)
· 2 ½ tbsp mild red Chili (I use a Chili power)
· 1 ½ tbsp ground cumin
· 1 ½ tsp salt
· 1 ½ cups water
· 1 (15ounce) can tomato sauce (I use Italian pasta sauce)
· 1 (28ounce) can stewed/diced tomatoes (I use flavored diced/stewed tomatoes)
· 1 can of black beans
In large pot sauté onions and garlic in EVO then add turkey. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned.
Stir in the both chilies, cumin and salt until thoroughly blended. Add water, tomato sauce, diced/stewed tomatoes and beans mashing with a fork.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 45 min. stirring the chili occasionally. (when using beef 90 min.)
Taste and adjust seasonings.
