Turkey Cashew Chili the Paleo Way

Ingredients 0/14

Step 1

Warm some olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it until it smells amazing and starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sofrito, stirring everything together, and let it cook for another few minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Push the onion mixture to one side of the pot.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the empty side of the pot. Break it up with your spoon and cook, stirring often, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which usually takes around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Once the turkey is cooked, stir in the canned tomatoes, water, and most of the tomato paste. Mix everything well so the colors blend together. Then add the cashews, chili powder, cumin, and cocoa powder. Give it a good stir to combine all the flavors.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid. Let the chili simmer gently for about an hour, stirring regularly. If it gets too thick, add a little water to keep it the way you like.

Step 5

When the tomatoes are breaking down nicely and everything has come together, taste and season with salt and pepper. Give it one last stir, and it’s ready to serve!
