Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lbs lean ground turkey
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 2 jalapeños chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce I used Texas Pete
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 packet Stevia

Instructions

  • In a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey, crumbling with a spoon, until browned.  Drain off any excess liquid and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil in the hot pan and add in the onion, bell peppers and jalapeños, cooking about 3 to 4 minutes, until onion is translucent and peppers have softened.  Stir in the garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add back in the cooked ground turkey, along with the rest of the ingredients, and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover, allowing the chili to simmer for about 30 minutes or up to an hour, stirring occasionally so the chili doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Ladle the chili into bowls, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
