Ingredients

• 2 tbsps olive oil


• ½ cup white onion, chopped


• 2 tsp minced garlic


• 2 tsp ground cumin


• ½ tsp oregano


• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped


• 1 lb of boneless skinless turkey breast, cut into 1 inch cubes


• ½ lb lean ground turkey


• 2 cans chicken broth


• 1 can chickpeas, drained


• 2 tsps cornstarch


• 1 tbsp water

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add chopped onion and saute for 4-5 minutes.

Add turkey and cook until cooked through, no pink left.  Add chicken broth, chickpeas, oregano, cumin and cilantro.

Salt and pepper to taste.  Stir to mix, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer covered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Dissolve cornstarch in water, uncover chili and stir in the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly.  The chili will thicken slightly.
