Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 2 hours

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium. Cook the onion & green pepper in the hot oil, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add turkey and brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
2. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, beans, chili powder, chipotle, cumin, cinnamon, celery salt, ginger, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer loosely covered on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if chili gets too thick.
3. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Serve.
