Turkey Chili

Cut celery and peeled carrot in half lengthwise. Then cut into small pieces. Chop onion into small dice. Mince garlic.

Heat up a pan and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Saute onion, carrot, celery and garlic with a little salt. Saute until golden brown.

While vegetables are sauteing, heat up another pan and sautee turkey with salt in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Break up meat often to avoid large clumps. When meat is cooked, add oregano, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Add more olive oil if needed.

Add golden brown vegetables to meat. Deglaze pan (that you sauteed veggies in) with chicken stock, bring to boil, then add stock to meat. Add tomatoes and bay leaves to meat. Add salt to taste. Mix well and bring to a boil. Then, turn heat down to medium low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check for salt and add more if you need to. Add tsp of chopped semi sweet chocolate or 1/2 tsp cocoa powder. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Now chili is ready! Serve in bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and chopped cilantro.
