Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 can canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
• 1 can canned black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
• 1 can canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
• 1 cup beer (preferably a dark Irish stout or lager)
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the ground turkey. Cook the turkey, breaking it into small pieces, until it is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove any excess liquid if needed.

Step 2

Add the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.

Step 4

Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, beer, chicken broth, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice just before serving, ensuring the flavors are brightened.

Step 7

Ladle the Smokin Irish Mex Turkey Chili into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions.
