Spicy and satisfying low-fat chili for bold flavor fans.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 small green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope instant hot chocolate mix
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
  • 0.5 cup cheap beer
  • 0.5 cup canned whole kernel corn
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, green peppers, and habanero pepper. Sauté until the onion turns transparent. Push the vegetables to one side and crumble in the ground turkey. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through. Combine everything to ensure the garlic does not overcook.
  • Sprinkle with chili powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper, hot cocoa mix, and seasoned salt. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce, and kidney beans. Pour 1/3 of a beer into the mix, then enjoy the rest. Simmer partially covered over medium heat for approximately 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the corn and hot pepper sauce, and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Then, take it off the heat and allow it to cool briefly before serving.
