Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Large Sweet Onion diced
- 1 Large Red pepper diced
- 1 Large Yellow pepper diced
- 1 Large Orange pepper diced
- 1 Tbsp Fresh garlic minced
- 1 Lb Lean ground turkey breast Chicken would work, as well.
- 2 Tbsp Chile powder
- 1 Tbsp Paprika
- 1 Tbsp Ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper or to taste. It will depend on how spicy your chili powder is.
- 1 tsp Oregano, dried
- 1 14 oz can Fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 14 oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 2 Tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan on medium high heat. Add the turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 4 or 5 minutes. Drain off any fat. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic, cooking until they are softened, about 3 minutes. In the mean time, add in the spices, stirring until they are fragrant, a few minutes longer. Add in all of the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chili can seem soupy. In fact, my dad calls it chili soup. So, if you have the time, let it simmer on the stove for a couple of hours for a nice, thick, chili. Serve topped with fresh chopped onion, sour cream, or cheddar cheese.
