- 1 TBSP tomato paste
- 1 TBSP chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano

Garnish with:

Instructions
- In a stock pot partially brown ground turkey over medium heat. Drain all excess fat and reserve a tablespoon or so, just enough for the meat not to be dry.
- Add minced garlic and chopped green onion and finish sautéing until turkey is nicely browned.
- Next, add tomato paste and all seasonings. Combine well ensuring everything is mixed in. Doesn’t that smell so good?!
- Now add beer, vegetable broth, crushed tomatoes, and black beans.
- Stir to evenly distribute all flavors, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or cornbread. Garnish chili with sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded colby jack cheese, and diced avocados.
- Enjoy!
Enjoy your meal, and stay warm! : )

I love turkey chili, but I've never put beer in it before. What does it do to the taste? Any particular brand? I'm not a beer person so I have no idea about it. Thanks 🙂

Beer in chili is just a flavor enhancer. I personally do not like to drink beer, but I really enjoy the flavor it brings to chili. You can always replace the cup of beer with broth if you do not prefer to use beer. I used Heineken is this batch, but you can use what ever brand you like. Thanks for stopping by!
