Guinness and Chocolate Turkey Chili
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 canned chiles in adobo, finely chopped plus 1 teaspoon sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 pounds ground turkey (see Notes)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup stout beer (such as Guinness)
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
  • 4 ounces good dark chocolate (60% to 70%), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • Kosher salt
  • Garnish with: shredded cheese, diced avocado and/or cilantro
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften and become translucent, about 7 to 9 minutes.
  2. Add adobo chiles and sauce, cocoa powder, smoked paprika, ancho chile powder, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and allspice. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Add ground meat and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and their juices, beer and stock to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the temperature to a simmer, and cook for 45 to 50 minutes so flavors may marry.
  5. Turn heat to low (if it’s not already there) and stir in beans, chocolate and peanut butter. Cook until beans are warmed through and chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes.
  6. Season to taste with salt.
  7. Serve warm with shredded cheese, diced avocado and/or cilantro.
Notes
* You can use ground beef in place of ground turkey.
* Can be made two days in advance. Chili also freezes well.
