Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper roughly chopped
1 yellow bell pepper roughly chopped
1 poblano pepper roughly chopped
½ yellow onion roughly chopped
½ red onion roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons Dalkin&Co Taco Seasoning or Chili Powder
1 pound ground turkey dark meat preferred
1 chipotle in adobo finely chopped
2 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 ½ cups crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
16 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed

Toppings

Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Scallions, Diced Avocado, Sour Cream, Cilantro or Chives

Instructions

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers, poblano pepper, and both the yellow and red onions, sautéing for 10-12 minutes until the vegetables soften. Stir in the garlic and chili powder, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Next, add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and sauté until it's golden brown.
Once the turkey is browned, stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, crushed tomatoes, and chicken stock. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the drained black beans and simmer for 20 minutes until the chili thickens.
When the chili has reached your desired consistency, reduce the heat to low and keep it warm until ready to serve.
