Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground turkey

• 3 stalks celery (diced)

• 1 red bell pepper (diced)

• 1/2 white onion (diced)

• 6 cloves garlic (minced)

• 5 tbsp chili powder

• 1 tbsp cumin

• 1 tbsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/3 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce

• 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce

• 1 (15 oz) can black beans (drained)

• 1 (15 oz) can chili beans (do not drained)

• 1 cup bone broth (or chicken stock)

• salt & pepper, to taste

Garnish

• raw onion (chopped)

• sour cream

Instructions

1. Heat 1-2 tablespoon(s) of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned.

2. Stir in onion, garlic, celery, and red pepper. Season with a large pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

3. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables in the spices.

4. Pour in the tomato sauce, black beans, chili beans, bone broth, and Frank’s Hot Sauce. Stir to combine.

5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor). Stir occasionally.

6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

7. Serve warm, garnish with chopped raw onion, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
