Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 2 celery stalk
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the pot. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
While the onion and garlic are cooking, dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, carrot, and celery. Add them to the pot and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until it's browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes.
Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the tomato paste.
Pour in the beef broth and stir well to combine.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to let it simmer uncovered.
Simmer the chili for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving hot.
