Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large white onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2-4 teaspoons of chili powder, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pound lean ground turkey meat
- 1 14.5 ounce can peeled tomatoes
- 1 16 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 bottle of beer (I used Miller Light)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, minced
Instructions
- Gently heat the oil in a large pot. Do not let it smoke!
- Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapenos.
- Saute over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add all powdered spices and stir to coat vegetables.
- Add turkey.
- Saute for three or four minutes, until just cooked through. Use your spoon or spatula to break it up.
- Drain the juice from the peeled tomatoes into your chili pot. Then finely chop the tomatoes and add them as well. Stir.
- Add the black beans, the beer, and the soy sauce. Stir.
- Add cilantro and stir well.
- Cover and allow to simmer over low heat for five to ten minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it rest for about fifteen minutes before serving.
- Optional
- Garnishes: Top with low-fat sour cream, grated cheese, avocado slices, chopped green onions, or anything else that suits your fancy! I love to eat it with tortilla chips.
