Three Bean Turkey Chili
The three varieties of beans add a lot of color and of course a ton of fiber and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 2 yellow onions, diced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 pounds lean ground turkey, at least 90% lean
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 12 ounces beer, lager
- 28 ounces whole tomatoes

- 15 ounces no-salt-added Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, until the paste has dried out, about 3 minutes.
- Add the turkey, oregano, and chili powder, and sauté until the turkey is browned, about 5 minutes. Add the beer and cook until the beer is reduced by half.
- Add the tomatoes, chipotle chilies and adobo sauce, beans, salt and pepper. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.
