Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored and finely chopped
12-ounce light beer
Two 15-ounce cans lowsodium black beans, drained and rinsed
14-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce
Two 14-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chili powder
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Hot sauce, to taste
Plain low-fat Greek yogurt, to serve
Chopped scallions, to serve
Shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese, to serve
In a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over mediumhigh, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up, until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle the turkey with the soy sauce and smoked paprika, then mix until well-coated. Continue to cook until any moisture in the pot is gone, about 3 minutes. Spoon the meat out of the pan and set aside.
Return the pot to the heat and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and red pepper, then cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, then add the beer to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any stuck bits. Simmer for 2 minutes. Return the meat to the pot, along with the beans, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cayenne and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, then simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve with hot sauce, yogurt, scallions and cheese on the side.
