This chili is absolutely delicious—that it's made with ground turkey rather than beef is a real surprise. Try it topped with shredded cheese and chopped onions.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
• 1 green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
• 1.5 lbs ground turkey
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 3 Tbsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp powdered cocoa
• 1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
• 2 Tbsp strong brewed coffee
• 1 28 oz. can plum tomatoes, crushed
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups cooked black beans or canned black beans

Directions:

Heat the oil over medium high heat in a Dutch oven or deep skillet. Add the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper; sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the ground turkey and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly and breaking up any lumps with a spoon.

Stir in the flour, chili powder, cumin, and cocoa. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes to cook the spices. Add the remaining ingredients except the black beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover pan and simmer the chili, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes, until chili is thick and the turkey is tender. Add the black beans and cook for 5 additional minutes.

The chili may be made in advance -- it's actually better the second day!
