Instructions

Add oil to a deep sided pan or Dutch oven and preheat over medium heat.
Add in onion, garlic and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 8-10 minutes or until soft.
Next add the ground turkey, use a wooden spatula to break up into small crumbles. Cook until no longer pink.
Measure and add in chili powder, chipotle powder, salt, cumin and oregano. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
Add in the beans, tomato sauce and roughly 1/2 cup of water.
Note: I like to add the water to the empty cans and swirl it around to catch and pick up any leftover sauce.
Stir, cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
Spoon chili into bowls and top with desired toppings.
