- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cumin
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
- Add onion and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the fire roasted diced green chilis, honey and the rest of the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, ginger, coriander, oregano, chili powder and cumin) and cook for another 15-30 seconds while stirring to combine.
- Add in the ground turkey, salt and pepper and stir to break it up into small pieces.
- When the turkey is cooked through, add in the tomato paste and stir until combined. Cook for another minute.
- Add the diced bell peppers, fire roasted diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer
- Simmer covered for 20 minutes.
- Add the black beans and butternut squash to the chili and simmer covered another 20 minutes or until the squash is cooked through but not mushy.
- Remove from heat. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm with favorite toppings (see below).
Extra Love:
- Adjust the cinnamon to nutmeg ratio based on your preferences; I tend to find cinnamon overpowering so I added more nutmeg than cinnamon.
- Topping ideas for extra mouth watering: sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, fresh jalapeño slices, diced avocado, sliced green onions, a squeeze of lime juice
Fall in love with seasonal cooking!
