Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Now, there's a lot to chop so I did it in batches while cooking. Start with the onion, add to the pot as you go. Once they are all in, add the turkey and begin to brown.
    5 small onions, 20 oz lean ground turkey
  • While the turkey is cooking start to chop the tomatoes and add them in 1-2 at a time. Once the tomatoes are all added, move on to the peppers. Once everything is in the pot salt it a little and continue to cook.
    5 sweet peppers, 5 tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chili powder, Kosher Salt
  • This is when I remember I had 2 cayenne peppers from last week's share.
    2 cayenne peppers
  • They dried a bit but still good! I added both which gave the dish a nice heat without being overbearing.
  • Chop up the cayenne and add it to the pot. By this time all the juices should be escaping the veggies giving you a nice broth base to the chili.
    2 cayenne peppers
  • Stir in the spices and beans and once you get a boil, lower to as simmer.
    1 15 oz can of black beans drained and rinsed, 1 tablespoon dried cumin, 1 tablespoon dried cilantro, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • I ate a bowl right away because I couldn't help myself but it was better after simmering for about 2 hours.
  • I purposefully wanted to thicken it up to use it for a quesadilla filling for dinner.
