- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato sauce, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the chili and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
