turkey chili.

I just made this chili last week.  I love the complex flavors.... and how easy it is.  It may be like a lot of ingredients (and some seem a little odd), but trust me it is delicious.  It also provides a high fiber and filling meal.

Give it a try:
2 pounds ground turkey (I used the light and dark meat mix)
1 onion, washed, peeled, and chopped
1 green bell pepper, washed, seeded, and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, washed, seeded, and chopped
1 orange bell pepper, washed, seeded, and chopped
1/2 of 1 jalapeño pepper, washed, seeded, and diced (or more depending on spice level preference)
1 can diced tomatoes with juice
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can tomato paste
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 can or bottle of beer
1/4 cup strong coffee, brewed
1 tbsp agave nectar
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen yellow corn
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp cinnamon
a few grinds of sea salt
a few grinds of black pepper
1 avocado, peeled and sliced, for garnishing

1. Brown ground turkey and drain fat
2. Put browned turkey in a large saucepan or crockpot
3. Add onion, peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, beer, coffee, agave, cocoa powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper.
4. Stir, cover, and allow to cook for at least 2 hours (or 4 hours in a crockpot on high)
5. After 2+ hours, add corn and beans
6. Allow to cook for an additional 30-45 minutes.
7. Serve over brown rice with sliced avocado
8. Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for easy future dinners

Wait until peppers are tender before adding corn and  beans.

Yumm! Chili with brown & wild rice mix and avocado!
