- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 28 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 15 ounces Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the turkey from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cooked turkey back to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and broth. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded, remove it from the heat.
Serve hot with your choice of optional toppings such as shredded cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.
