Instructions
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onion.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers begin to soften, 2-3 min.
- Add turkey to the pot with peppers. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add Tex-Mex paste. Stir to combine.
- Add crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup (1 cup) water and beans, including liquid, and garlic salt. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly, 12-15 min. (TIP: If you have time, keep it simmering on the stove for longer! It gets better the longer it cooks!) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide chili between bowls. Dollop sour cream over top, then sprinkle with green onions and cheese.
