Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion; diced
  • 4 tsp garlic; minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 28 ounce can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans; rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans; rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans; rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and garlic: Cook for 3–4 minutes until onions are softened.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pot: Stir until the turkey meat is crumbled. Cook until completely cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Combine the flavors by adding brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste: Stir until well combined. Add beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and beans. Scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to incorporate all flavors.
  4. Cover the pot: Bring the chili to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, uncover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir often so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. If it gets too thick, add water to reach desired consistency.
