Ingredients

4 bell peppers assorted colors, diced
2 onions diced
5 celery stalks diced
5 carrots cut into rounds
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
3 cans fire roasted tomatoes
3 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons cumin
6 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can red kidney beans drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1

I've emphasized it before but i'll say it again, it makes life a whole lot easier when you have everything prepped and ready to go. So start out my cutting all your veggies.
2

In a large pot, I always use my large oval Le Creuset, add the olive oil and the ground turkey. I use a potato masher to help break up the meat.
3

Once the meat is cooked most of the way through add all the veggies to the pot and cook until slightly softened, about 8 minutes.
4

Add the oregano, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, cayenne and salt and pepper. Stir until well covered and cook for another 2 minutes.
5

Add in the canned fire roasted tomatoes. I use Muir Glen, this is also the only brand i've seen to make this and trust me the flavor is fabulous!!!!
6

Simmer the chili covered for 1 1/2 hours. Then remove the lid and simmer another 30 minutes. The flavors concentrate wonderfully and penetrate everything in the chili! Serve in a giant bowl with a piece of cornbread or go ahead, be crazy and try it over pasta!
