3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
Tablespoon tomato paste
1 pound extra lean ground turkey or chicken (99%)
1 (15oz) can petite diced tomatoes
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (add more if needed)
1/2 cup canned corn

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in onion, garlic, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Add the spices and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the ground turkey and break it up into small pieces; cook until the meat is opaque and no longer pink.
Next, add in tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the chili to thicken and flavors to come together.
