Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion; diced
  • 4 tsp. garlic; minced
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 28 ounce can fire roasted crushed tomatoes

  • 15 ounce can black beans; rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans; rinsed and drained
  • sour cream
  • jalapenos; sliced
  • shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and garlic; cook for 3–4 minutes until onions are softened.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pot; stir until the turkey meat is crumbled. Cook until completely cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Mix in the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste; stir until combined.
  4. Add beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and beans. Scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to get any extra bits.
  5. Cover the pot; bring the chili to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; uncover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. If it gets too thick, add water to reach desired consistency.
