Beanless Chili (Whole30 style)

3 lbs ground turkey
2 sweet onions  (sliced and diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
2 bell peppers (sliced and diced)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
3 1/2 cups beef broth
2 1/2 teaspoons cumin
3 Tablespoons chili powder
2 Tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper


In a non-stick skillet cook ground turkey on medium high, turning and breaking up meat, until all pink is gone.  Using a slotted spatula or large spoon remove turkey from pan, leaving dripping in pan, and place cooked meat in another pan with a lid to cover while cooking vegetables.  Place all prepared onions,garlic, peppers and mushroom in the skillet the meat was cooked in and cook vegetables about 5 minutes to wilt on medium high.  Add all spices, cumin, chili powder, paprika, parsley flakes, mustard powder, salt and white pepper and stir to combine.  Add the can of crushed tomatoes and beef broth and stir to combine.  Add the cooked ground turkey to the pan and stir in the meat to combine.  Turn down the burner to low and continue to cook for 1 hour (uncovered).  Every 15 minutes stir to cook evenly.  The liquid will reduce and thicken up to a chili consistency.  Once done it is ready to serve.
