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.

Tweeking is the Secret
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

After reading several reviews......apparently the issue was the salt. Not sure whether was 1 tbls or 1 tsp. This is what I... did to twikkkkk it. I used 3 grated garlic w hand/grater) did not use salt, instead I used goya adobo to taste, a little at a time **everyone, please taste your recipes along the cooking progress". did not use the chili powder instead I added a McKormic Chili Pack, did not have paste so I used 1/2 can tom. sauce, I omitted the chipolte pepper (I was unsure how spicy it may be), I used a 15oz can of diced tomato(same thing less work) and a can of small red beans (you really can use any bean you like, just wash & drain). I also added to the beginning of the recipe along with the onions red & green peppers. The lager beer I just bought an American lager (all the store had) and added about 12oz. It turned out pretty good. It has a tiny kick but not enough to be considered even mild. For the toppings I used shredded cheese, cilantro, sour cream & jalapeno peppers for whomever wanted spicy. I served white rice and nacho chips. Overall not sure I created a new recipe or I just tweek it. Anyway, it turned out wonderful, everyone added the spice they wanted. Next time I'll make spicy just for me. It was YUMMOOOOOO.Read more

great for a 30 minute chili
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A bit salty. the oregano really sets it off. I've never used beer in chili, but it all turned out great. I'll try it again... with less salt and Chipoltes. I had to use a chipolte hot sauce.Read more

Wonderful, easy, healthy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made a few minor changes to keep this as flavorful & calorie-friendly as possible: Used 99% fat free ground turkey, reduced... oil to 1 T, and added 1 diced green pepper & 1/2 pound of frozen, sliced okra to bulk it up. Also used white beans & black-eyed peas instead of red (lower calories) and added a big can of diced tomatoes. Made a HUGE pot (adjusted seasonings accordingly) of veggie-rich chili... also got my husband who "wouldn't eat okra" to admit you can't even taste it. Great way to sneak in some extra veggies! Zucchini would work well, too. I found the salt to be just fine, though my recipe yielded at least double the original version- I used just the 1 TBS., so it may indeed need to be reduced if you follow to a T. This is a chili that doesn't have to cook all day for the flavors to develop, it's awesome right out of the gate but we're looking forward to the leftovers, too. Very highly recommended!Read more

SALT CITY
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love salty foods, but this is crazy salty. I did use the recommended kosher salt & it did not make a difference. I feel the... need to drink a gallon of water after eating this chili. Read more
