The dish is simmered in a broth infused with cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, and bay leaves, resulting in a deeply flavoured meal. You can adjust the level of spice to your personal taste. The entire process takes about 65 minutes to complete.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey breast
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 of a yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 whole jalapeno (slightly seeded and minced)
- 4 plum tomatoes
- 1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth

- 2 whole Dried bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon chili
- 1 teaspoon salt

Method
- Brown the meat in a large skillet, draining it if you prefer, though the fat adds flavour.
- Once the meat is fully cooked, introduce the chopped onions, tomatoes, minced garlic, and a tablespoon of canola oil.
- Continue to cook until the onions have taken on a little colour from the tomatoes.
- Mix in all the listed seasonings, but leave out the bay leaves for now.
- Allow this to cook for two minutes so the seasonings coat the meat and vegetables.
- Pour the can of chicken broth into a separate large soup or sauce pot.
- Transfer the browned meat mixture from the skillet into the pot with the broth.
- Place the pot over a medium-high heat setting.
- Stir in the minced jalapeno, the bay leaves, and the two tablespoons of red pepper paste.
- Put the lid on the pot and let the chili come to a boil for five to ten minutes.
- Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes, though stovetops can vary.
- As it cooks, you may wish to taste the chili and add more of any seasoning you like.
