Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, diced
Kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound ground turkey
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups cooked white beans, or One 12-ounce can, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups cooked kidney beans, or One 12-ounce can, drained and rinsed
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)
Sliced scallions, for serving (optional)
Grated Cheddar cheese, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of kosher salt and saute, stirring with a wooden spoon, for about 2 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic and bell pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne and cook for at least 1 minute so that they bloom.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 or 2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
  • Add the turkey and switch tools from a wooden spoon to a whisk. Cook the turkey, breaking up any large chunks with the whisk as you cook, for 5 minutes, or until browned.
  • Add the tomatoes, 3 cups of the stock, and the cocoa powder and bring to a simmer, whisking to make sure the cocoa powder is thoroughly dissolved and combined. Add the beans and bring the chili to a simmer.
  • Cover the pot with a lid or foil and cook the chili for 1 hour. Taste the chili after 1 hour and adjust the seasoning. If the chili is too thick for your liking, add a bit more chicken stock.
  • Serve in deep bowls topped with sour cream, sliced scallions, and grated Cheddar, if desired.
