DIRECTIONS

1. In a 6-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey; season with chili powder, cumin and the salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break turkey into bits. Cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and the water; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add beans and peppers; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.

Note: Peppers can be spicy. For mild chili, use a bell pepper and reduce chili powder to ΒΌ cup. For a fiery chili, add cayenne pepper or diced jalapeno peppers, to taste. Use gloves when handling peppers to avoid burning skin.
