A hearty and flavorful chili recipe perfect for a cozy dinner.
Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat and add the ground turkey.
Ensure the turkey is fully cooked and crumbled for even texture.
Add the chopped onion, diced green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot, and sauté until softened.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Adjust the water amount based on your desired chili consistency.
Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Uncover the pot and cook for an additional 15 minutes to thicken.
For a thicker chili, cook longer uncovered.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or sour cream.
Serve with a side of cornbread or tortilla chips for a complete meal.
