1 medium yellow onion diced
1 jalapeno minced, to taste
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
28 ounces tomato sauce
15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
15 ounces canned kidney beans drained

Instructions

Add the turkey to a large deep pot over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking the meat up.
Add in the onion, jalapeno, and garlic and continue cooking, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through.
Add the chili powder, salt, and cumin and stir well to coat the meat in the spices.
Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes or longer over low heat.
Serve with cheddar, sour cream, and extra jalapenos as desired.

Notes

I recommend simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes. The longer it cooks, the more flavorful and tender the meat gets.

Use hot or mild chili beans in place of the kidney beans if desired.
