Ingredients

1 onion chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds ground turkey
1 can (29 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (29 oz) tomato puree
1 can (29 oz) diced tomatoes in juice
6 ounces tomato paste I would use less next time - maybe just a few tablespoons
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) black beans drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin or less
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
½ can baked beans
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
<1 can beer

Instructions

Saute the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until soft.
Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink.
Add all other ingredients and simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

Notes: I added the beer at the end because it was very thick. Perhaps if I had used ground beef it would have been juicer. This recipe really needed the extra liquid. I also would cut down the amount of tomato paste because it tastes very tomato'y. If I had used less tomato paste and added ground beef instead of turkey, the beer might not have been needed. I would probably leave that out as well. We served it with plain Greek yogurt and crackers. Not bad. I would make those adjustments and try this recipe again. I'm going to use the ground turkey or ground venison or maybe even a beef chuck roast. I am not a fan of ground beef.
