12 lb lean ground turkey
1 (1 1/8 ounce) package chili seasoning mix (I use William's brand Chipotle chili seasoning, it is by far the best I have ever had.)
1 large yellow onions or 1 large white onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
0.333 (16 1/8 ounce) jar jalapenos, with Juice
0.333 (16 1/8 ounce) jar banana pepper rings, with Juice
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans whole tomatoes (I slice the whole tomatoes in half)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies (off brand is ok, I use extra hot)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained & washed (VERY important that you drain and wash!)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans black beans

1
In a large chili pot on medium high brown ground turkey.
2
Drop your temperature, add onions, garlic, bell peppers, and seasoning.
3
Your mixture will quickly dry up, add the jalapenos and pepper rings (with juice!)
4
for moisture.
5
If that doesn't cut it use the juice from a one of the cans of tomatoes.
6
Once onions turn translucent again drop your temperature, add all remaining ingredients.
7
Allow to simmer for at least three hours stirring every 30mins.
8
If the chili ends up too hot for your or anyone in the family serve with sour cream which will cut the heat.
9
(and make it EVEN BETTER) We also like to add fresh chopped onions and crushed whole wheat crackers on top but this is optional depending on you preferences.
