Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more.
4. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes.
5. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
6. Add the tomatoes—crushing them through your fingers into the skillet—along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.
7. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.
8. Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.
9. Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.
