Total Time 1 hour
Servings6 -8

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 2 15- oz. cans diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 2 14-.5 oz. cans kidney beans drained
  • 1 15- oz. can beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chilies
  • 1/2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate grated or chopped
  • 3-4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Sour cream chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic, bell pepper, and ground turkey until meat is cooked through.
  • Add salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Add the tomatoes, beans, and beef broth.
  • Add all of the chipotle sauce from a small can of chipotle chilies. Heat to boiling and then reduce to a simmer (uncovered), stirring occasionally, until thickened as desired (I like it about 30-40 minutes). If desired, add some chopped chipotle chilies. Add 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Chop or grate 1/2 ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate and add a little at a time until desired richness is reached. If necessary, add more red wine vinegar to cut the sweetness of the chili. This is where you can play around a little with the flavors.
  • When thickened and seasoned as desired, serve with chopped onions or green onions, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
