Turkey and Pumpkin Seed Chili

Ingredients:

• 450 g of ground turkey or chicken
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seed oil or olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 - 2 red or yellow bell peppers, chopped
• 1.5 tbsp. chili pepper spice mix
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1 can (425 g) of canned diced tomatoes in their own juice
• 1 cup lightly salted chicken broth or water
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed flour
• 1 can (425 g) canned black beans, rinsed

Preparation:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the ground beef turns white, about 4 minutes.
2. Add chili spice mix, cumin, oregano, and cocoa powder; stir to distribute evenly. Add the tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseed meal and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the liquid thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Add the beans and cook, uncovered, until the chili thickens, about 10 minutes.
