Ground Turkey Chili 2

From scratch (almost completely), no comercial brand exclusive ingredients, healthy chili-like recipe. Preparation time about an hour.

Ingredients

CANNED/BOTTLED
1 28 oz Tomato crushed
1 28 oz Tomato diced
1 15 oz Beans black drained
1 15 oz Beans kidney drained
1/4 cup Canola Oil

MEAT
2 lbs Turkey ground 93/7

DRY CONDIMENTS
1 TBSP Coffee decaf instant
1 TBSP Oregano
2 TBSP Cumin
1 TBSP Garlic crushed/chopped
1 tsp Coriander whole crushed
1 tsp Red Pepper (hot) crushed
1 inch Cinamon stick
3 packets (13.5-15 g) Cane Sugar (natural, turbinado, or brown)

FRESH CONDIMENTS
1 Onion large finely chopped
1 Bell Pepper Green sliced/chopped
1 Sweet Pepper (Ají Dulce) sliced/chopped
2 stalks Celery sliced/chopped
2 Green Onions sliced/chopped
1/4 cup Carrots sliced/chopped

OPTIONAL
Cilantro

Instructions

Sauté the fresh vegetables plus garlic with most of the vegetable oil on a deep pan at medium high heat. Once the onions are translucent (~5 min), remove them and set aside. Now cook the turkey with rest of oil plus dry condiments except for the sugar. Once the turkey has turned "white" (~5-10 min) add sugar and mix while it browns (~ 2 min). Add sauteed veggies and mix. Add canned tomatoes and beans. Stir and simmer for ~ 10-20 min min. Chop or shred the cilantro (optional). Serve on a bowl and use the cilantro instead of cheese to garnish.
