Directions

• In a large pot, add the 1 tablespoon olive oil, diced 1 small yellow onion, and 1 red bell pepper and simmer on medium-low heat until the onions start becoming translucent and the pepper are soft.
• Add the 2 garlic cloves (minced) and 1 jalapeno pepper (if using) and cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute.
• Increase heat to medium and add 1 lb ground turkey and cook until browned.
• Add 1 cup chicken stock, 14 ounces diced tomatoes, 14 ounces tomato sauce, and 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar and stir together.
• Add in 14 ounces dark red kidney beans, 1½ tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper, 1 ounce bittersweet baking chocolate, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, and stir together.
• Simmer over medium heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chili will be watery at first but will thicken up.
• Turn off heat after the 40 minutes has passed and let rest on the stove for another 10 minutes. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
• Serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions and any other desired toppings.
