For a deeper flavor, consider browning the turkey in the pot before adding the other ingredients. This will add a rich, savory note to the chili. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a handful of crispy tortilla chips for added texture and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
02
StepStir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chopped turkey and stir until well coated with the spices, ensuring every piece is infused with flavor. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, beer, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
03
StepReduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the chili to simmer gently, uncovered. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded together beautifully, about 50 minutes.
04
StepAdd the drained and rinsed black beans and cook until they are heated through, about 10 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.
