Preparation
1
In a deep stock pot over medium-high heat, add the ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart, cooking until the meat is no longer pink and fully crumbled.
2
Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in the tomato paste, dried oregano, half of the fresh oregano, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper, and 1 tablespoon of cumin. Mix well and let it simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4
Add the celery, red bell peppers, and jalapeño to the skillet, continuing to sauté for about 3 more minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Stir in the minced garlic, remaining tablespoon of cumin, salt, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the cooked ground turkey. Stir well to combine, ensuring the flavors meld together.
6
Stir in the roasted tomatoes (or canned tomatoes with broth) and dark beer. Let the mixture cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the beans and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
7
Ladle the turkey chili into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes—green pepper slices, cilantro, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream. Dig in and enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish!
