  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2.5 pounds ground turkey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Make the spice mix: Mix ancho chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, chipotle pepper, oregano, cocoa powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
  • Make the chili: Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground turkey and garlic. Cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, breaking up any large chunks, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in spice mixture. Cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato purée and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook until turkey meat is broken down, about 1 hour. Stir in beans, and continue to simmer until flavors have blended, 20 to 30 more minutes.
