30-Minute Turkey Chili from Food Network Kitchens

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, gratedMonterey jack cheese, and/or tortilla chips, for garnish, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more.
4. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes.
5. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
6. Add the tomatoes–crushing them through your fingers into the skillet–along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.
7. 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.
