1 yellow onion diced
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 red bell pepper diced
2 plum tomatoes or roma, diced
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and diced
14 ounces kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
14 ounces tomato sauce

1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper depending on desired heat level - I use 1/2 tsp

1
Dice onion, red pepper, jalapeno, and mince garlic. Set aside.
2
In a large dutch oven our soup pot, add oil and heat to medium low, add onions and saute around 5 minutes or so, stirring often.
3
Add minced garlic and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
4
Increase heat to medium or medium high and add ground turkey, cook until browned, crumbling into small pieces (use a potato masher to make quick work of this).
5
Add diced jalapeno, red bell pepper, tomatoes and saute for 1 minute.
6
Add chicken stock, tomato sauce, and apple cider vinegar and stir.
7
Add in remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
8
Simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you notice the chili getting too thick for your tastes, add a splash of chicken stock as needed.
9
Turn off the heat after the 40 minutes has passed and let rest on the stove for 5 minutes before serving.
10
Top with whatever toppings you prefer. (I chose monterey jack and cheddar cheese, sour cream, minced cilantro, diced avocado, and more diced tomatoes)
