Hearty Turkey Chili

* 1 tablespoon Meridian extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
* 1 small onions diced
* 1 green peppers chopped
* 1 stalks celery diced
* 2 cups yams peeled and cubed (optional but it gives the chili great flavour and consistency)
* 1 pounds Meridian ground turkey
* ½ cup chicken stock
* ½ can tomato paste (we love Itallisima from @bosa_foods
* 1 cup Meridian Tomato sauce
* 1 small can diced tomatoes in their juices (14.5 ounces) we love Itallisima diced tomatoes from @bosa_foods
* 1 can of red or white kidney beans
* 2 tablespoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
* ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
* ½  teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* Pinch red pepper flakes (optional - add more for spice)

* Heat the oil in a large pan or a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, bell pepper, celery, and sweet potato. Sauté for approx 5 minutes, until soft.
* Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, 7-8 minutes, stirring often to break apart the turkey.
* Drain any excess liquid from the pan when turkey is cooked.
* Once the turkey is browned, add ½ cup chicken stock, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
* Let cook, uncovered, until the chili thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring every so often so that the chili does not stick to the bottom. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little chicken stock to reach your desired consistency.
* Remove from stove and add toppings!! Serve with tortilla chips. We recommend locally made @freshisbest.co chips! For toppings we recommend;
*sliced avocado
*sour cream
*shredded cheese (we love Paradise Island shredded cheese blends! @paradisecheese
*sliced jalapeño
*chopped cilantro
*chopped green onion ...
