Chef John's Turkey Chili image

I served mine with some beautifully ripe slices of avocado that gives the final bowl another layer of silky richness. By the way, don't let the cocoa powder in our chili spice mixture throw you off! It's only a small amount and it really works. My chili was garnished with sour cream, diced jalapeno, cilantro and avocado.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 ½ pounds ground turkey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato puree
2 cups water
2 (12 ounce) cans pinquito or pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Mix the ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, salt, chipotle pepper, oregano, cocoa powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ground turkey and garlic. Cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, breaking up any large chunks, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spice mixture. Cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato puree and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook until the turkey meat is broken down, about 1 hour. Stir in the beans, and continue to simmer until flavors have blended, 20 to 30 more minutes.

This chili was a disaster. It was watery and flavorless. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This chili was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
