    List of Ingredients




    6 ounces hot turkey Italian sausage
    2 cups chopped onion
    1 cup chopped green bell pepper
    8 garlic cloves, minced
    1 pound ground sirloin
    1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    3 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 bay leaves
    1 1/4 cups Merlot or other fruity red wine
    2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped
    2 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese

    Recipe



    1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add sausage, onion, and the next 4 ingredients (onion through jalapeno) to pan; cook 8 minutes or until sausage and beef are browned, stirring to crumble.

    2. Add chili powder and the next 7 ingredients (chili powder through bay leaves), and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine, tomatoes, and kidney beans; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

    3. Uncover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard the bay leaves. Sprinkle each serving with cheddar cheese.

    Note: Like most chilis, this version tastes even better the next day.
