• Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of kosher salt and saute, stirring with a wooden spoon, for about 2 minutes, or until translucent.

• Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 or 2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
• Add the turkey and switch tools from a wooden spoon to a whisk. Cook the turkey, breaking up any large chunks with the whisk as you cook, for 5 minutes, or until browned.

• Cover the pot with a lid or foil and cook the chili for 1 hour. Taste the chili after 1 hour and adjust the seasoning. If the chili is too thick for your liking, add a bit more chicken stock.
