• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 5 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 chipotle chile in adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tablespoon sauce
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 (12 ounce) mexican lager beer
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, with their juice
• 1 (15 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• grated monterey jack cheese (optional) or tortilla chips, for garnish (optional)

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.

We really liked this one! I doubled the chili powder and added some fresh chopped jalapeno for some zip.

The recipe says a tablespoon of kosher salt, which was way too salty for us. I use a teaspoon of Kosher Salt and it is perfect. This chili has been a hit with everyone who has eaten it with us. Good and good for you!

Great Taste and Super Easy.. The only thing I changed was I used Blue Moon Summer Ale beer since that is what I had on hand.. The kids and DH enjoyed with shredded cheese, sour cream and chips.. I on the other hand could not splurge- going by the nutrition facts this is a 9 point meal for those of you on WW's :)

Made this for a Winter Warm-Up dinner with friends - It was a HIT! Cornbread goes nicely.

Very easy and fun to make. End product tasted great and healthy as well! I added an pinch of cinnamon for a Cincinnati twist.
