Secret Ingredient Chili

1 lb ground turkey
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1/2 yellow or white onion
1 tablespoon chili pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1.4 teaspoon paprika
1 shake red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
pinch of cinammon
2 160z cans seasoned kidney beans
2 16oz cans chili beans
1 28oz can roasted diced tomotes
1 16oz can tomoato with pepper and onion
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 cup water
1/2 cup beer
salt and pepper to taste

finely chop onion and pepper and saute in a large sauce pan over medium heat for apx 3-5 minutes until soft, add turkey and brown with vegetables. Add chili pepper, cumin, paprika, celery salt, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes. Add tomatoes, paste, beans, water, beer, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Let simmer on low for 1-2 hours serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese, avacados and fritos or crackers for garnish.

*I don't measure the spices, I add them all to taste so feel free to experiment. The cinnamon flavor will be strong when you first make this but it will mellow after simmering.
