Ingredients

    Ground Turkey - 1.3lb raw (that was the amount in the pack)
    Onions, raw - 1 cup, chopped
    Garlic - 2 clove minced
    Pepper, black - 2 tsp freshly ground
    Chili powder - 9 tbsp or 2/3 cups
    Ground cumin - 12 tbsp (remove)
    Crushed Tomatoes - 28 oz can
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
    White Rice, long grain - 2 cups
    Water, tap - 4 cups
    Kosher Salt - Salt to taste (I use 2 tbsp approx.)
    Canned beans, black - 2 cup

Directions

CHILI:
- Chop 1 medium sweet onion in to small dice
- Finely mince 2-3 garlic cloves (depending on size and taste)
- Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil to cold pan (I use a wide sauce with curved sides)
- Place on medium high flame and saute until translucent
- Add ground turkey and a 1/3 of chile and cumin seasoning. Also add a teaspoon of salt and cracked black pepper and stir in so that seasonings mixes into the meat before it cooks. (brake up the turkey with your spatula/spoon but if you're like me, you'll want to leave some of it chunky).
- Cook turkey mixture until all the pink is gone.
- Add tomatoes,1/2 cup water, rest of the chili powder and another 1/3 of cumin.
- Bring mixture to boil and then reduce to low and cook mixture for about 30 mins.
- Add beans and taste for spice. You may add the rest of the cumin if you're like me and love the smokey taste. Adjust salt and pepper. You may also add some cayenne pepper if you like your chili hot.
- Cook for another 10 minutes and serve over rice

RICE:
- Follow package instructions (add salt to taste, even if the package does not require it).
