​Directions

  1. Soak adzuki beans overnight in the filtered water with the whey or vinegar. Drain and rinse after soaking.

  2. In a large pot or dutch oven, combine the beans with the broth and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

  3. Add tomatoes, chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin to the beans. Stir to incorporate and continue to simmer while completing the next step.

  4. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ground turkey and onion in butter or coconut oil. When the turkey is half done, add the green peppers and garlic. Continue to sauté until the turkey is browned.

  5. Add the ground turkey and vegetables to the chili and simmer, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes, until the chili is slightly thickened. Taste for seasoning and add salt for flavor or chili powder for more spice.

  6. Enjoy with avocado, goat's milk yogurt, salsa or green onions. Flavor will improve over the next few days.
