This was tonight's Dinner. I used turkey instead of beef and used fresh
chile instead of dried powdered form. It was not very hot but I added some
chopped fresh chiles as garnish and that gave it just the right kick. This
was good.

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb ground turkey -- very lean
1 lg red onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- thinly sliced

Preheat a large pot, pref. a Dutch oven. When hot, heat oil. Add the turkey,
stirring to break up the lumps, and cook until browned and you see no more
pink. Add the onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender. Drain off as
much fat as possible. Place meat back in and add salt, cayenne, mexican
oregano, cumin and chile powder. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans.
Mix well. Bring to a simmer. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.
Simmer for 1/2 hour uncovered. Then simmer for 1-1/2 hours covered.
If the chili is too thick, add either tomato juice or water.
Serve garnished with any or all of the garnishes listed. Also put it over
some cooked rice (I used bulghur wheat).
