Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 tsp. garlic, minced
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 28 ounce can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • sour cream
  • jalapenos, sliced
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, cooking for about 3–4 minutes until the onions soften.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the pot. Stir until it crumbles into small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, around 5–7 minutes.
  3. Mix in brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Pour in beef broth along with crushed tomatoes and all three types of beans. Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate any browned bits.
  4. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; uncover and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking; add water if needed to adjust consistency.
  5. Once cooked through, serve hot with toppings like sour cream, sliced jalapenos, shredded cheese, and lime wedges as desired!
