1 1/2 lbs. ground turkey breast
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onions and pepper and saute until they soften and brown (8-10 minutes).
2. Add turkey, breaking up, and cook until brown (5-8 minutes). Drain fat.
3. Add garlic, chili powder, and flour. Cook, stirring, until flour smells nutty (1 minute).
4. Add beer, chocolate, and tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the turkey is fully cooked, stirring occasionally (20 minutes).

6. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
