A secret ingredient I love adding to chili is smoked paprika. It adds just a hint of delicious flavor that many people absolutely love. For this chili, I decided to make it more than a hint – I wanted to make it a bold flavor! If you love smoked paprika, then give this chili a try. If you don’t like it, then you can simply omit it. Either way is delicious!

1 lb ground turkey or beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced

2 (15oz) cans black beans
1 (14.5oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/3 – 3/4 cup broth, to preference
Instructions
- Preheat a pot or dutch oven to medium high heat with avocado or olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

- Add the ground turkey or beef and sauté, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until there’s no more pink, and add 1 tsp salt as well as the chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Once the meat is cooked and the spices are incorporated, add the black beans and crushed tomatoes. Season with an extra 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste, mixing everything together. Incorporate broth as needed to reach your desired texture. Taste test and adjust seasonings to preference.
- Serve as desired and enjoy!
Notes
You’re more than welcome to let the chili simmer (covered) for a couple hours for a stronger, more vibrant flavor profile. Just add broth as needed.
