  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced to
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped butternut squash
  • 1 lb ground turkey I used 93% lean -- can use ground beef as well
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2.5 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sea or kosher salt
  • 1 14.5- oz can fire roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 2 c vegetable broth

Garnishes

  • Diced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions
 

  • Heat a 6-quart dutch oven over medium high heat. Add olive oil, onion, and bell peppers and toss to coat. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onions turn translucent.
  • Add ground turkey and cook, stirring with a wood spoon to break into pieces, until the turkey is no longer pink, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garlic, tomato paste, spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika) and salt. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes with a wood spoon until the tomato paste is worked into the vegetables and the spices are fragrant.
  • Add fire roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth and diced butternut squash, then stir all ingredients together. Increase heat to high to bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 35-45 minutes until the chili is thick and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding. Taste for flavor and seasoning - simmer an additional 10 minutes if flavors have not fully developed, and/or adjust with additional salt as necessary.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
