Classic Chili

This is nothing fancy, just my go-to classic chili recipe I've been making for years.  Use the two cans of black beans if you like your chili thicker (less soupy).  I love having this chili with my favorite corn muffins.

Classic Chili

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1/2 pound ground turkey

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 cups beef broth

1-2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

Grated cheddar cheese

Diced avocado

Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Directions:

1. Put olive oil in a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat.  Add onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
