  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tablespoons   oil
   2      large         onions -- chopped
   2      tablespoons   garlic -- chopped
   2 1/2  pounds        turkey -- ground
     1/4  cup           masa harina --  
  28      ounces        whole plum tomatoes -- drained and chopped
   4      cups          chicken stock
   6      tablespoons   pasilla chili powder
   1      tablespoon    cumin -- ground
   1      teaspoon      oregano
   1      teaspoon      cinnamon
   1      teaspoon      black pepper -- freshly ground
   1      tablespoon    salt
   2      tablespoons   cider vinegar
   2                    chipotle chilies in abode sauce -- chopped
  40      ounces        beans 

Heat the oil in a dutch oven and saute the onions until golden.  Add the 
garlic and saute for another 2 - 3 minutes.  Add the turkey and saute until 
the meat loses its color, stirring to break the meat apart.  Sprinkle the 
masa harian onto the meat and stir to incorporate,  cooking for an additional 
2 minutes.  
Add the remaining ingredients(except beans), the reserved tomato juice and 2 
cups of chicken stock.  Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low 
and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, adding the 
remaining chicken stock if necessary.  Add the beans and continue cooking for 
10 to 15 minutes to heat thoroughly.  Serve with corn bread, tortillas, diced 
onions, grated cheese, sour cream, chopped fresh coriander, or anything else 
you like with your chili.  

NOTE:  Try and get the ingredients listed.  If you use regular chili powder 
be careful about what it has in it. Most purchased chili powders are a mixture 
of chili powder, cumin, salt, and other spices.  Again, I strongly suggest 
using the ingredients listed as the taste is well worth the effort.  This 
chili has a nice "earthy" taste with a hint of smokiness imparted by the 
chipotle chilies in adobe sauce. 

Beef or pork can be substituted for the turkey.
