Introduction

This is our favorite chili recipe. We love the not-so-common flavors of the cocoa and cinnamon. Friends who have tried it love it as well. All ingredients can be adjusted to your taste, but I would not advise increasing the cinnamon unless you are doubling the recipe. Serve with your favorite chili toppings. My favorite is a bowl topped with shredded sharp cheddar and some chopped avocado, This is our favorite chili recipe. We love the not-so-common flavors of the cocoa and cinnamon.

Ingredients

    1,5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
    1 cup chopped onions
    1.5 tsp ground cumin
    1.5 tsp dried marjoram
    1.5 - 2lbs ground turkey (16 oz used in calculations)
    1 bay leaf
    1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    28 oz can diced tomatoes in juice
    1 tsp salt or to taste
    3 Tbsp chili powder, or to taste
    .25 tsp ground cinnamon, ground
    15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
    Optional: half to one full jalapeno, minced fine with seeds removed

Tips

Tastes best the next day.
If you don't like things spicy, you may want to start with only 1.5 Tablespoons of chili powder and no jalapeno. Keep tasting until you get the right amount of heat. We like Badia chili powder.


Directions

Saute onion in olive oil. When the onion becomes soft, add marjoram and cumin and cook another minute. Scrape all into slow cooker.
Add ground turkey to pan. Break up meat and stir until no longer pink. Drain if necessary and add to slow cooker.
Next add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker--except for the beans. Combine well,
Cover slow cooker and set to low for approximately 4-6 hours. Adjust seasoning throughout.
About 30 minutes before serving, add rinsed and drained black beans. Stir in gently, then cover and let cook another 30 minutes.
