There's no better time to eat chili than whenever There's no better time to eat chili than whenever you want. Check out @feedyoursister's recipe for Turkey Chili

What you'll need::
• 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil
• 1 tsp pink salt
• 1 container of mirepoix (chopped onion, carrot and celery)
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)
• 2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey/beef/chicken (you can also sub in crumbled tofu)
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 large can of diced tomatoes (28 oz)
• 2-3 cans of beans (Black, pinto, kidney, refried or aduki beans are great choices.)

What you'll do::
In a large pot, add in the first six ingredients and sauté over medium heat until the onions and peppers have a chance to sweat and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Add in meat of choice or tofu. Stir around and crumble using a wooden spoon until all the meat is mostly cooked.

Add in chili powder, cayenne (if using) and cumin. Stir ingredients around in the pot to prevent burning.

Add in stock, diced tomatoes and beans. If you are adding in extra chopped veggies, add them in now as well. Mix to combine.

Let simmer for about 40 minutes.

Fill your bowl with whatever toppings you’d like and enjoy!
