Step 1
In a large pan or Dutch oven over medium - high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brown ground turkey, then add onions, garlic and blend well. Then add diced tomatoes, marinara sauce and bloody mary mix, bring to a simmer (about 2 - 3 minutes).
Step 2
Now add Cannellini , kidney and pink beans. Stir to combine, then add all your spices including the masa flour (used for thickening). Salt and pepper to taste, then add bell peppers and chili peppers. Stir and simmer for about 5 - 8 minutes . Then add chopped parsley cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
Step 3
To serve, spoon chili into bowls and top with sharp cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh parsley. You can also serve with corn bread or your favorite tortilla chips.
