30-Minute TurkeyChili
From Food Network Kitchens

4 servings

Ingredients
•                3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•                1 medium yellow onion, chopped
•                5 cloves garlic, chopped
•                1 tablespoon kosher salt
•                2 teaspoons chili powder
•                1 teaspoon dried oregano
•                1 tablespoon tomato paste
•                1 chipotle chile en adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tablespoon sauce
•                1 pound ground turkey
•                1 (12-ounce) Mexican lager-style beer*
                1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
•                1 (15 1/2-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
•                Sliced scallions, cilantro sprigs, avocado, sour cream, grated Monterey jack cheese, and/or tortilla chips, for garnish, optional


Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes--crushing them through your fingers into the skillet--along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.

Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.

 Sally’s notes:  I decided to make this a low carb recipe so I did not add the beans. Just a personal choice.  The only garnish I used was cilantro. Mo and I really loved it. * If you don't want to use beer use chicken stock.
