Snow Day Turkey Chili

I have always been a big fan of chili but I have never found a recipe I could make myself that I liked. From the crock pot to the dutch oven I was unsuccessful every time. Today I was determined to make some yummy chili! I took a few recipes I found on the internet, tweeked them, and created my own recipe. Needless to say, my search is over! This recipe is easy and quick! I also love the added cinnamon. It is certainly a surprisingly delicious "secret ingredient." Serve this with some corn bread and you are good to go!

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 whole medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14 1/2 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15-16 oz) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 - 16 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (heaping) tomato paste

Directions

In a dutch oven (or other larger boiling style pan) cook ground turkey, onion, garlic, and peppers until the meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain the grease (fat). Stir in undrained tomatoes, drained kidney beans, drained black beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes more or until desired thickness.
