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

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice and the tomato paste.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to let it simmer uncovered.

Step 9

Simmer the chili for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving hot.
