Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 pound turkey sausage
2 carrots chopped
½ large yellow onion chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
5 teaspoons Ancho chili powder or chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Instructions

Preheat a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Add the onions and carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, and cumin until the meat and veggies are coated, about 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the kidney beans and chickpeas. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve with a variety of garnishes.
