SPICY AND THICK TURKEY CHILI



Spicy and Thick Turkey Chili image

I love a spicy and thick chili during fall and winter months; this recipe (made with ground turkey) kicks butt! The cocoa powder is the secret ingredient! Works best to have all your ingredients chopped drained and ready before you start, as it thickens up pretty fast over the heat.

Provided by ctooch99

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Chili Recipes     Turkey Chili Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 red bell pepper, seeded and minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ⅓ pounds ground turkey
2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, liquid drained and reserved
1 (15 ounce) can red chili beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
¾ cup light beer (such as Miller Lite®)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon hickory-flavored liquid smoke
½ cup low-sodium tomato juice
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)

Loosely cover the pot and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened but still moist, for about 1 hour.
