Oils & Vinegars

Directions

1.    Dice onion, bell peppers, jalapeno and mince garlic. Set aside.

2.    In a large pot, add oil and heat to medium low, add onions and sauté around 5 minutes or so, stirring often.

3.    Add minced garlic and cook, stirring often for 2 minutes.

4.    Increase heat to medium or medium high and add ground turkey and chorizo, cook until browned, crumbling into small pieces (use a potato masher if desired).

5.    Add diced jalapenos, bell peppers, tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute.

6.    Add chicken stock, tomato sauce, and apple cider vinegar and stir.

7.    Add in remaining ingredients and stir.

8.    Simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chili will thicken. If you notice it getting too thick for your tastes, add a splash of chicken stock as needed.

9.    Turn heat off after the 40 minutes has passed and let rest on the stove for another 5 minutes before serving.

10. Optional: top with green onion, minced cilantro, diced avocado, red onion and diced tomatoes. (or whatever toppings you prefer)
