Step 1
In a spacious pot set over medium heat, warm up the olive oil and sauté the turkey until it loses its pink color. Give the turkey a flavorful boost by dusting it with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Next, toss in a thrilling mix of jalapeno peppers, onion, garlic, celery, green pepper, and chipotle peppers. Cook this vibrant medley, stirring frequently, until the turkey crumbles and the onion turns see-through, which usually takes around 15 minutes.
Step 2
Now, it's time to introduce a symphony of flavors! Add in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili beans, dark beer, Worcestershire sauce, chili seasoning, and a touch of liquid smoke for that extra kick. Lower the heat and let everything simmer for a minimum of 2 hours, remembering to give it a stir now and then.
