👨🍳Instructions
- 1
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot. Sauté onion, carrots, and bell pepper for 5 minutes until soft.
- 2
Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon and cook until no pink remains.
- 3
Bloom the Spices (The "Expert" Step): Clear a small circle in the middle of the pot. Add your chili powder, cumin, and paprika directly to the hot surface for 60 seconds until fragrant before stirring into the meat. This "blooms" the oils in the spices for a richer flavor.
- 4
Simmer: Stir in the beans, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
- 5
Finish: Stir in a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving to brighten the earthy flavors.
