• 2 cloves Garlic, minced (about 2 tsp.)
• 1 tbsp. Cooking Oil (i.e. Avocado Oil)
• 3 tbsp. Chili Powder
• 1 tbsp. Cumin Powder
• 1 tsp. Coriander Powder
• 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. Liquid Smoke (optional)
• 1/2 -1 tsp. Chipotle Powder or 1 tbsp. Canned Chipotle Chilies in Adobo, minced

Directions

1. Saute onions in oil (or use a non-stick pan) until soft—about 5-10 minutes. For a richer flavor; caramelize them by cooking an additional 10 minutes and stirring every minute so that they brown but don’t burn. Add garlic and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add turkey and brown. Deglaze with water if onions and garlic start to get too brown.
2. Add remaining ingredients and bring up to just below a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for two hours OR place in a 350-degree oven with a cover on the pot and cook for 1.5 hours OR transfer mixture to crockpot and cook 2 hours.
