Step 1

Heat the oil in a large heavy bottom pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the turkey and cook until browned, stirring to break it up as it cooks.

Step 3

Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring, until tender.

Step 4

Mix in canned tomatoes, beans, corn, spices, and soy sauce. Add the water and stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 30 minutes until the chili thickens. (*Sometimes I simmer with the lid on, sometimes completely off - if you're finding that your chili isn't thickening to your desire, try removing the lid completely)

Step 6

Serve with freshly baked corn bread (by popular demand, here's a link to my corn bread recipe).
