Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped (about 1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1 ½ lbs. ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
- 14 oz cans fire roasted and diced tomatoes undrained
- 15 oz can chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 14 oz can kidney beans drained
Garnish

Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute the onion in olive oil until softened. Add the garlic, ground turkey, and bell pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and crumbled and the onions and peppers have softened.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, cocoa, and red pepper flakes to the pot, stir, coating the meal, and cook for a few seconds until the seasonings are fragrant.
- Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, water, and tomato sauce and stir. Bring to a boil, and add the drained canned beans. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are soft. If you want the chili thicker, cook for additional minutes. To thin the chili, add additional water.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese, scallions, and sour cream.
