6 ounces hot turkey Italian sausage 2 cups chopped onion 1 cup chopped green bell pepper 8 garlic cloves, minced 1 pound ground sirloin 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped 2 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon ground cumin 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 bay leaves 1 1/4 cups Merlot or other fruity red wine 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add sausage, onion, and the next 4 ingredients (onion through jalapeño) to pan; cook 8 minutes or until sausage and beef are browned, stirring to crumble. Add chili powder and the next 7 ingredients (chili powder through bay leaves), and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard the bay leaves. Note: Like most chilis, this version tastes even better the next day.
