Instructions
In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add ground beef or turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Sprinkle half of the prepared chili spice mix over the meat and onion mixture. Stir well to coat evenly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices), kidney beans, black beans, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the remaining chili spice mix, stirring well to incorporate.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if necessary.
Serve hot in bowls with optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
