Here is how you make Kick-Butt Turkey Chili:

Heat olive oil in dutch oven or large saucepan. Add onion and sprinkle with 1 tsp of salt. Cook on medium heat until onions are starting to color, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, chipotle chiles and cilantro and cook until peppers are soft, about 7 minutes. Add chili powder, cocoa powder, dried spices and bay leaf and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ground turkey and remaining salt and raise heat to medium high. Cook turkey, breaking up large pieces with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and corn and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Sprinkle remainder of cilantro on top and garnish as desired or serve with guacamole. Enjoy!
