Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 chipotle chile in adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tablespoon sauce
1 lb ground turkey
1 (12 ounce) mexican lager beer
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, with their juice
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
grated monterey jack cheese (optional) or tortilla chips, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more.
Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes.
Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes-crushing them through your fingers into the skillet-along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.
Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.
Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.
Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.
