  |  | 1 | In large bowl combine raw ground turkey, carrots, onion, and garlic. Mix until combined and set aside while you preheat a large (6 qt.) soup pot. |  | 2 | In a 6 qt pot, pour about 2 tablespoons canola oil and allow to heat until almost smoking. Place ground turkey mix into pot and do not move. Allow to sit in place. this will allow the meat |  | 3 | After 4 minutes, stir up turkey mix and start to break apart the chunk of ground turkey so they are in smaller pieces, and it is cooked through. SMELLS GOOD!! |  | 4 | At this point, add in the red peppers, celery, and jalapeno peppers. Allow to cook until fragrant (get your nose in there!) |  | 5 | Sprinkle with all the herbs/spices and again allow to cook, about 1 minute, until fragrant. |  | 6 | Add in the can of crushed tomatoes, and using the can, 3 cups of water. bring to a boil |  | 7 | Allow to cook for 45 minutes at a simmer, and then add in all 3 cans of beans (with liquid). Bring back to a boil (increase heat) and then reduce heat again to a simmer for 1 hour. |  | 8 | At this point, you can adjust the salt with either more smoked salt (if you want more smokiness) or regular salt. |  | 9 | To serve: for 4 servings (of the 10)
in 4 soup bowls place 1/2 cup in each of chopped fresh baby spinach.
Ladle some of the chili right on top of the spinach (to wilt it in the bowl)
sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of mexican cheese on each bowl
cut an avocado into 4 quarters, peel, chop up each quarter and put on top of chili.
ENJOY!!!! |
