Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Large Onion (diced)
4 Garlic gloves (minced)
2 pounds Turkey (cut into bite-size pieces)
12 ounces Beer
14 ounces diced Tomatoes
3 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo (minced)
14 ounces Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
14 ounces Pinto Beans (drained and rinsed)
14 ounces Kidney Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1 tablespoon ground Cumin
2 teaspoons Salt (plus more to taste)

instructions Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onion and garlic. Stir them around and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to soften. Throw the turkey into the pot. Stir the turkey around and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned. Pour in all but 1/4 cup of the beer. Then add the tomatoes, minced chipotle and all the beans. Stir to combine, then add the chili powder, cumin and salt.

step 2

ingredients

instructions Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for a good 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the sauce is slightly thicker and the flavors have had a chance to combine.

step 3

ingredients 1/4 cup Masa Harina (corn flour)
Juice of 1 Lime

instructions After that time, combine the masa harina with the remaining beer. Whisk it with a fork until it's smooth, then pour it into the chili. This will thicken it up a little more. Squeeze in the lime juice, then stir it around and let the chili simmer for another 10 minutes or so, until it's thick and luscious.

step 4

ingredients Sour Cream (for serving)
grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese (for serving)
chopped Cilantro (for serving)

instructions Season to taste. Serve it up with a dollop of sour cream, sprinkling of Cheddar and cilantro.
