Serves: 10

• Olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 4 pounds coarsely ground turkey
• 3 tablespoons chili powder

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 3 hours

1. Put a small amount of olive oil in a large roasting pot. Chop onion and simmer until clear. Add turkey and cook until brown. After meat is brown completely, remove most but not all of the grease with a ladle.
2. Add chili powder, cumin and salt to meat and mix in completely. Then add tomatoes, crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours.
3. Then add two cans of beans and cook another 30 minutes. At this point, you can adjust the consistency by adding more beef broth if desired.
