Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beer
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cans (15 oz each) great northern beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 pound ground turkey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base: Start by melting the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and any peppers you’re using (optional). Sauté the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and softened.

2. Add Spices: Stir in the chili powder and ground cumin. Continue to cook the spices with the onion and garlic for another 3 minutes, ensuring you stir constantly to prevent burning.

3. Incorporate Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes along with their juice to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then pour in the beer and water. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients and to loosen any browned bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot.

4. Combine Ingredients: Mix in the corn kernels, great northern beans, and ground turkey. Stir everything together to ensure even distribution of all the ingredients.

5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the chili simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure the chili does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
