Required Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
• 1 (7 ounce) can salsa
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree
• 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparing/Cooking:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat.
• Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible.
• Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings.
• Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.
• Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes.
• Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.
• While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned.
• Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more.
• Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed.
• Ladle chili into serving bowls.
• Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.
