- Place the beans in a large pot with the water, the arbol or jalapeño chili, and bay leaves.
Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook until tender, about 1 hour. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey, stirring often and breaking up with a spoon, until evenly browned. Add the onion, salt, and pepper, and sauté over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, green pepper, chili powder, cumin, and chipotles. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until aromas are released. Stir in the black beans with their liquid and the chicken broth. Cook uncovered for 40 minutes or until the flavors have blended and the chili has thickened. - Divide into four bowls and add 1 ½ tsp. sour cream as garnish to each bowl.
