Description

I rely heavily on soups and chilis in the fall and winter to fuel my lunches!

Ingredients

Scale

glug of EVOO
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 lbs ground turkey
2 14.5 oz cans of petite diced tomatoes (I like the fire roasted ones)
2 14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 12 oz package of frozen Fire Roasted Poblano Peppers
1 12 oz package of frozen Fire Roasted Diced Red Bell Peppers
I eyeball the following spices — but these are the ones I use. I spice things as I go and add more at the end:
- 2 TBS chili powder
- 2 TBS cumin
- 1 TBS smoked paprika
- dash of apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Set a dutch oven or large heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat. When warm, add a glug of EVOO and your diced onion. Sauté until the onion is just cooked and then add in your ground turkey. Sauté turkey and break up chunks until no longer pink. Sprinkle turkey with some of the spices from above.
Dump in your 4 cans of tomatoes and your 2 bags of diced peppers (if these are still frozen when you add in, that is AOK, you may need to crank the heat a little more to get to simmering). Stir everything together. Once simmering, cover and continue to let simmer for about 20-30 minutes or so.
Check at the 20-30 minute mark (and give it a stir when you like so you can make sure you are not burning the bottom of your chili), you can continue to let simmering on LOW heat. Taste, add a splash of apple cider vinegar (I find this brightens my food). Also, add the rest of your spices TO TASTE. Let this chili speak to YOUR tastebuds.
Serve!
If you are making this for lunch, you can section it out into 8 of my favorite Ziploc containers. Let cool, screw on the lid. Store in fridge or freezer. When I am taking a frozen chili to work, I let it sit on my counter to defrost until lunch when I am ready to pop it in the microwave.

Notes

For your 4 cans of diced tomatoes, you can really choose any 4 cans that appeal to you at the store. I love the fire-roasted ones or the ones with green chili added. I just make sure that at least 2 cans are petite diced.
