How to Make The Turkey Chili Recipe

In a big pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic together for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is transparent.

Cook the spices for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are quite fragrant, before adding the cumin, oregano, chili powder, cinnamon, and bay leaves.

When the turkey is no longer pink, add it together with the tomato paste and mix it with a wooden spoon.

With each tomato squeezed between your fingers so that it is still chunky but not entire, add the chocolate, beer, chipotle, and tomatoes.

For 45 minutes, simmer over a lower heat.

Salt and pepper the beans and then incorporate them.

Try it; if you prefer your chili hotter, add some of your favorite spicy sauce or cayenne pepper.
