Turkey Chili

The days are getting shorter and cooler now. It must be time for chili. I like this version made with ground turkey instead of beef.  It has all the flavor of a traditional beef chili.



Ingredients

1 green pepper, seeded and chopped into small pieces
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped into small pieces
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
2 pounds ground lean turkey
Salt and pepper
2 (14.5) ounce cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
2 Tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cans (14.5 ounce)  kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn

Optional toppings: Cheddar cheese, sour cream, pickled jalapenos, fritos chips.



Instructions

Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in large pot. Add peppers and onions and saute until lightly browned and softened. Then, add garlic and saute an additional minute. Remove mixture from pan, Heat remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil in pot. Add turkey, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up turkey as it cooks. Drain off any fat, then add tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, coriander and paprika. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally. for 30  minutes. Stir in kidney beans and corn. Add more chicken broth to thin if desired. Heat through. Serve warm with toppings.
