Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 can canned black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 1 can canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 1 cup beer (preferably a dark Irish stout or lager)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the ground turkey. Cook the turkey, breaking it into small pieces, until it is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove any excess liquid if needed.
Add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, beer, chicken broth, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice just before serving, ensuring the flavors are brightened.
Ladle the Smokin Irish Mex Turkey Chili into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions.
