This recipe was given to me by a friend's mom from Colombia. I've tweaked it a bit and everyone seems to love it. It's got a kick to it and is great with shredded cheese and sour cream on top. You can even serve it on nachos. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help streamline the cooking process.
- Brown the Meat: Browning the ground turkey over medium-high heat gives it a lovely texture and flavor. Don't overcrowd the pan or the meat will steam instead of brown.
- Sauté the Veggies: Sautéing the onions, bell peppers, and garlic adds a nice depth of flavor to the chili.
- Use Spices Generously: This recipe uses a generous blend of spices, including chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Feel free to adjust the quantities to your taste preferences.
- Add Canned Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: Adding canned tomatoes and tomato paste provides a rich, tangy tomato flavor.
- Use Low-Sodium Broth: Using low-sodium broth allows you to control the saltiness of the chili. You can always add more salt to taste at the end.
- Don't Skimp on the Beans: This recipe calls for black beans, kidney beans, and corn. These beans add protein, fiber, and texture to the chili.
- Simmer for at Least 30 Minutes: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with Toppings: When serving the chili, offer a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and avocado. This allows everyone to customize their bowl.
