Hearty Turkey Chili

• 1 pound Ground Turkey
• 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
• 1 clove Garlic, Minced
• 3 whole Carrots, Diced
• 2 whole Bell Peppers, Diced
• 1 whole Jalapeno, Finely Diced
• 2 cans (28 Oz. Size) Diced Tomatoes, Or Approximately 6 Cups Diced Tomatoes
• 2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans
• 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
• 2 Tablespoons Cumin Powder
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 whole Dried Bay Leaves
• 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
• 2 teaspoons Salt, Or To Taste
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper, Or To Taste

1. Brown turkey in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once browned, remove any excess oil from the pan.
2. Add onion, garlic, carrots, bell peppers, and jalapeno to the pot and saute for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes, beans, and spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, cinnamon, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper). Simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chili reaches your desired thickness.
5. Remove the bay leaves prior to serving.
6. Notes:
7. 1. You can reduce or increase how spicy this chili is by reducing or increasing the cayenne and jalapeno. This chili has a little kick to so try it with less first if you are unsure and add more to taste.
8. 2. I typically serve mine over mashed potatoes or french fries with a little cheddar cheese on top (yum!) but it's also delicious on its own!
