Janis's Deep Flavored Turkey Chili

A double batch or crockpot full — feeds a party

Ingredients

• 2 med sweet onions, chopped
• 2 lbs. lean turkey meat (2 pkgs. ground)
• Pepper
• 1 large can tomato pieces w/liquid (forgot to measure — 20 oz?)
• 2 small cans tomato paste (organic has great flavor)
• 1 can of beer
• 1/2 C. red wine
• 5 heaping TBS chili powder (I usually use California, but you can add a tiny bit Arbol if you’re into chili types - hot but good flavor).
• 4 TBS beef bullion
• 1-1/2 Tsp. ground cumin
• 1 TBS Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder (deep flavor!)
• 4 15oz. cans (60 oz) pinto beans (drain unless you want more liquid)

Directions

In a large pan brown onions, turkey, and pepper. (Don’t add salt! Til later, your bullion may be salty)

Now add remaining ingredients.

DO NOT ADD SALT: Usually, bullion is salty! Bring ingredients to a boil, then simmer for an hour.

Serve with shredded mex or cheddar cheese on top!

Note: Your chili powder may vary if you use the real stuff, and some may be really hot … which means you’d want to use less. Regular grocer’s won’t be — you might want to add cayenne to taste.

Remember, your beef flavoring might be very, very salty. If you find your chili is too salty, add a little tomato sauce and beer.
