Preparation

Step 1

In a large, heavy pot or a large enameled cast-iron casserole dish, set over medium-high heat, heat the oil.

Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking the turkey with a wooden spoon and stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl and set aside.

Add the onions and zucchini to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 6-8 minutes.

Add the garlic, chili, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the turkey, tomatoes with the liquid, beans and chocolate, stir until chocolate melts. Simmer the chili over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I love this recipe, but I use half the quantity of tomatoes (84oz is too much) and add about a tablespoon of cayenne powder for spice.

We used the base of this recipe to make a veggie chili. It was good, but I was disappointed to not taste the chocolate at all. Also, 3 cans of tomatoes was overkill (and I'm a tomato lover).
