Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green bell peppers seeded and chopped
1 onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
2 pounds lean ground turkey 93/7 recommended
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 - 2 teaspoons salt to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 ounces canned tomato paste
6 ounces water or chicken broth
30 ounces canned mild diced tomatoes with green chile peppers such as mild Rotel tomatoes, see note

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat or in an instant pot on "saute." Add the green peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir and cook until the onions are translucent.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 green bell peppers, 1 onion, 4 cloves garlic
Add in the ground turkey and cook until turkey is no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break up turkey into smaller pieces.
2 pounds lean ground turkey
Add all the spices and stir, cooking for about 30 seconds.
2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 - 2 teaspoons salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Stir in the cocoa powder, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste until fully mixed and cook for 30 seconds.
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 6 ounces canned tomato paste
Fill the empty can of tomato paste with water and add it to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies and stir to mix completely.
6 ounces water or chicken broth, 30 ounces canned mild diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
Partially cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. For an instant pot, cook on "slow cook" mode for 1 hour or longer. If using a crock pot, transfer the chili to the pot and cook on low for 1 hour or more.
Serve chili with your favorite chili toppings, such as chopped onion and shredded cheese.

Notes

I use mild Rotel tomatoes for this recipe. This is plenty spicy for my family, which includes children. You can use regular Rotel tomatoes, or a combination of the two, to up the spice.
