1-First, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and add the chopped onion, cooking until it softens, about 2 minutes. Next, add the ground turkey and break it apart as it browns, which takes around 5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic for 30 seconds. This builds a solid foundation for the flavors.

2-Stir in the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste, letting them mix with the meat for about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the pot for extra taste, then add the crushed tomatoes and all three types of beans. Bring everything to a boil and reduce the heat to low for simmering.

3-Let it simmer for 1 to 2 hours, covering the pot at first and uncovering for the last 30 minutes to thicken the chili. Serve it hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or avocado. For alternative methods, try the slow cooker or Instant Pot versions detailed below.

4-Alternative Cooking Methods:* Slow Cooker: Sauté the onion and ground turkey first, add garlic and seasonings, then transfer to the slow cooker with broth, tomatoes, and beans. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.* Instant Pot: Use sauté mode for the onion and turkey, add seasonings and broth while scraping the bottom, then add tomatoes and beans on top without stirring. Seal and pressure cook on high for 12 minutes, followed by a natural release for 10 minutes and a quick release. If needed, use sauté mode to thicken.
