Turkey Chili!!! WOW, and so healthy!

 Turkey Chili!!!!
3 Lbs ground turkey
1 very large,  minced onion
2 Bay Leaves
1 good bottle of Mexican beer (Modelo)
2-3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 14.5 Oz. can Chicken broth
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 4 Oz. can HOT diced green chilies
5 Tbsp Chili Powder-well rounded
2 tsp cumin powder
2-3 tsp salt-to taste
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 can chickpeas-drained
1 large can black beans-drained
1 pound bag of thawed,  super sweet corn
1 7 oz. container of 2% Greek Yogurt
4 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro,  plus more to serve chili with as a topper
3-4 avocados   cut into chunks-tossed with some lemon juice to keep them from browning-to use as a topping
Mexican blend cheese,  to use as a topper, too! :) 

Cook up the ground turkey meat with the minced onion, and bay leaves. Once cooked through,  add the minced garlic, cook for a few more minutes. Next, add the beer, chicken stock, and crushed tomatoes. Throw in all the seasonings, but do not add beans, yogurt, or corn just yet.

Let simmer for about 20 minutes,  then add the beans, corn and greek yogurt. Stir well, simmer for about 5 more minutes to let beans and corn get warm,  then you are ready to serve! Get your chili into bowls,  and serve with the fresh chopped cilantro, avocados,  and Mexican cheese blend! Can serve with sour cream, too!  YUMMY,  and so good for you!!!  It's a big WIN, WIN! :)
