Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 jalapeno peppers with seeds, chopped
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 (16 ounce) cans spicy chili beans
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, such as porter
