Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Aromatic Base: Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Introduce half of the chopped sweet onion and cook until softened and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
02
StepDevelop the Broth: Add the chicken broth, chili starter, and dried oregano to the saucepan. Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, melding the flavors.
03
StepSauté the Vegetables and Bloom the Spices: Coat a large stock pot with cooking spray and reduce the heat to medium. Add the bell pepper, the remaining half of the chopped sweet onion, and the minced jalapeño. Cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Incorporate the cocoa powder, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and release their full aromatic potential.
04
StepBrown the Meats: Stir in the ground turkey and pork. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is evenly browned and no longer pink, approximately 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease to maintain a lean profile.
05
StepCombine and Simmer: Introduce the chicken broth mixture, diced tomatoes with green chiles, fire-roasted tomatoes, and diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions to the stock pot. Stir well to combine. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for approximately 3 hours, allowing the flavors to deepen and intensify.
