Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large casserole or other wide heavy saucepan with a lid, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a large bowl. Cook the turkey in the remaining bacon fat over high heat, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat into small bits with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 . tsp salt, then transfer the turkey and any juices to the bowl with the bacon.
2. Heat the oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the veg are softened and the onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato purée and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring, then stir in the chipotle and adobo sauce, oregano, cumin and 2 tsp salt. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the beans, tomatoes, beer, stock, chocolate and turkey mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chilli is deeply flavourful, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vinegar and molasses or brown sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot, with your favorite accompaniments. (I like sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, grated cheddar, lime wedges, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. |
