Title: Smoked Jalapeno Chili
Categories: Chili Soup Main
Yield: 4 Servings

1		Red bell pepper, diced
1		Green bell pepper, diced
1	sm	Onion, diced
3		(or more) cloves garlic,
		Diced
1 1/2	lb	Ground turkey
3		Chipotles (smoked jalapenos)
		Reconstituted, seeded, and
		Minced
2		Stalks celery, chopped up
8	oz	Canned kidney beans
16	oz	Canned crushed tomatoes

Saute the vegetables then add the turkey, beans and tomatoes.

Cook for at least an hour over low heat. Refrigerate overnight. Reheat the next day and add 8 oz sour cream (I used low fat). This smooths out the sauce and enhances the flavor but kills the heat. So, adjust heat to personal preference level with chiles of choice. I added about 1 Tb dried, crushed red pequino powder. Serve over rice if you want.

0.5 to 1 oz unsweetened chocolate (a vital ingredient)
