SMOKIN' SCOVILLES TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, green peppers and habanero pepper; cook and stir until the onion is transparent. Push these to one side of the pot, and crumble in the ground turkey. Cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the meat is no longer pink. Stir everything together so the garlic doesn't burn.
• Season with chili powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper, hot cocoa mix and seasoned salt. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce and kidney beans. Crack open a beer, and pour in about 1/3. Drink or discard the rest. Partially cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix in the corn and hot pepper sauce, and simmer for about 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook 1 minute more.
• Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes.
• Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes-crushing them through your fingers into the skillet-along with their juices and the beans; bring to a boil.
• Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.
• Ladle the chili into bowls and serve with the garnishes of your choice.
• Cook's Note: A skillet's larger surface area reduces sauces faster than simmering in a saucepan.
