Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 anaheim chili, seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (3 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
  • 2 ears white corn
  • 2 (1 1/2 ounce) packages chili seasoning mix (or ideally, Carroll Shelby's Chili Kit)
  • 16 ounces beer (such as Newcastle Brown Ale)

Method

  • 1.
  • In a Dutch Oven, on medium high heat, add the olive oil to evenly coat the bottom.
  • Add the onions, garlic, peppers, and ground turkey, and stir frequently until meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
  • 2.
  • Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, beer, and chili seasoning kit, and stir well, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low, and let simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3.
  • Meanwhile, slice the kernels of corn off the 2 ears and set aside, and drain the can of kidney beans.
  • After chili has simmered for the 15 minutes, add the corn and beans, and cover the pot.
  • Let simmer for at least 15 minutes longer (45 minutes longer is ideal).
