If using turkey, heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, brown for 10 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks. Remove turkey meat and set aside. Leave oil in the plan.

Chop onion, seed and chop green peppers, peel and slice carrots

Place onion, green peppers, and carrots into sauce pan, cook and stir for about 10 minutes, until onion is translucent and vegetables are tender.

Stir in chili powder, cumin and black pepper.

Pour in the diced tomatoes, frozen corn, black beans, garbanzo beans and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Place about 1 1/2 cups of the chili mixture into a food processor. Puree for 1 minute or until smooth.

Pour the puree back into the rest of the chili, add cooked turkey meat to mixture and simmer over medium-low heat
