Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 poblano peppers, large diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (dark meat)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour *Cup-4-Cup Gluten Free
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons (packed) dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, crushed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 cups organic chicken broth
  • 1 15 ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a heavy, large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, poblanos, celery and onions. Saute until the vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the turkey and saute until no longer pink, breaking up the turkey with the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over and stir to blend. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, sugar, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cinnamon and cloves. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to blend. Add the broth and beans. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the flavors blend and the chili thickens to desired consistency, stirring often, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with shredded cheddar and hot sauce (Cholula or Franks Red Hot).
  • Serve with either freshly baked corn muffins or tortilla chips.
