Insert the 4 mm slicing disc; use medium pressure to slice the peppers, then remove and reserve. Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the garlic through the small feed tube and process to chop, 10 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Add the onions; pulse to chop, 10 to 12 times. Remove and reserve.

Add half the turkey cubes to the work bowl; pulse to chop, 10 to 12 times. Remove and reserve; repeat with the remaining turkey cubes.

In a large saucepot, heat half the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Sauté the garlic and onions until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, allspice, cinnamon and bay leaf, cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. While the onion mixture is cooking, in a 12-inch (30 cm) nonstick skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium high heat and brown the turkey. Do not turn until nicely browned; break up after turning. As the turkey is cooked, add it to the onion mixture. When all the meat has been added, stir in the reserved bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken stock, water, vinegar, and salt. Cover loosely and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and sim- mer the chili for 2-1/2 hours, until the meat is tender and the mixture thickens.

Serve plain, or Cincinnati style.
