Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 chipotle chile en adobo, coarsely chopped, with 1 tablespoon sauce
1 pound ground turkey
1 (12-ounce) Mexican lager-style beer
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Sliced scallions, cilantro sprigs, avocado, sour cream, grated Monterey jack cheese, and/or tortilla chips, for garnish, optional

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes--crushing them through your fingers into the skillet--along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.

Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.

Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.

Yummy!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This chili was really good... I liked the chile en chipotle, it definitely gave the chili the slow cooked taste. Instead of... using 5 tbs of salt, i just added more chiles and adobo sauce. I also used chicken broth instead of the Mexican beer since I didnt have any handy. In the end, the chili didn't have a a lot of sauce in it, so next time I'll put more chicken broth since I like my chili more saucey. But overall, this chili was tasty!!!! Read more

Where's the liquid?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This chili had good flavor, but unlike the photo accompanying the recipe, there was very little gravy/sauce/liquid. For me,... chili should be like stew - meat and vegetables in a nice, thick liquid. This dish was amost entirelymeat and beans. If I try it again, I will use at least twice as much tomato, and maybe the juice from the canned beans as well, then let it simmer. Maybe that's the problem - more liquid simmered longer to thicken. But then, you couldn't make it in 30 minutes. Read more

AWESOME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I skipped the salt and used crushed tomatoes (not into the finger thing). I added a can of corn, a can of black beans, and a... can of red kidney beans.. it was amazing. I LOVE the chipotle flavor and I've made it twice now with two different beers and it was great. Very healthy and hearty meal that can be adjusted to your taste when it comes to the amout of heat. My family LOVES it. Read more

Not good at all
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I followed the directions except for vering off 1 ingredient. I chose a belgium lager instead. I wasn't going buy buy a six... pack of beer that I will never drink so I purchased a single at the convenient store. Maybe I didn't like the turkey chili because I don't usually eat ground turkey. I was expecting to taste more of the beer. I would never make this recipe again. Sorry. I tried it though.Read more
