Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground turkey white and dark meat combined
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 large sweet red pepper cored, deveined and coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 jalapeño cored, deveined and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped, or 1 tablespoon dried
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3 cups canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth fresh or canned
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 15-ounce cans red kidney beans, drained
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar
  • 1 cup sour cream optional
  • Sliced lime for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil over high in a large heavy pot and add the turkey meat. Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, chopping down and stirring with the side of a heavy kitchen spoon to break up any lumps.
  • Add the onions, garlic, sweet pepper, celery, jalapeño, oregano, bay leaves, chili powder and cumin. Stir to blend well. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  • Add the drained beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes longer. Serve in bowls with Cheddar, and sour cream and lime wedges, if desired.
