Instructions

Sauté Aromatics:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook Turkey:

Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Add Spices:

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cinnamon.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to become fragrant.

Incorporate Cranberries and Tomatoes:

Add the cranberries and diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot.

Stir to combine all ingredients.

Add Beans and Broth:

Add the kidney beans and chicken broth to the pot.

Stir well to mix all components.

Simmer:

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the chili has thickened to your liking.

Season and Serve:

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and honey or maple syrup if desired.

Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings.
