Smokin' Irish-Mex Turkey Chili

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in 4-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped turkey and saute for about 4 minutes until light brown. Drain and set aside.

Heat remaining 1 tbsp. oil in 4-quart pan and saute potatoes for 4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Add red bell pepper, onions and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Stir in turkey, beans, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes in puree, fresh or canned green chili, jalapeno pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, bay leaf and honey or brown sugar.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Top with shredded cheese and chopped onion, if desired.

Note: To remove the skin from the fresh green chili, place under broiler until the skin bubbles. Turn over and broil the other side. Cool in a damp towel. Then carefully peel off the skin.
