Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the onion, peppers, garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, green chiles, and ½ tsp each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, if using the prosciutto, cook it in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool, then chop into pieces and add to the saucepan.
Add the tomato juice, tomatoes and chocolate and bring to a simmer. Add the chickpeas and beans and gently simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1 to 1½ hours more. Serve with sour cream, Asiago, additional cinnamon and cornbread, if desired.
