The phrase five-way refers to the number of accompaniments Queen City natives serve with their uniquely spiced chili.

Ingredients:

cooking spray

1 pound ground turkey

1/2 pound ground sirloin

2 1/2 cups chopped onion (about 2 medium), divided

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup water

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons chili powder

3 tablespoons spicy barbecue sauce

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

4 teaspoons white vinegar

3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped

1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato puree

3 1/2 cups hot cooked spaghetti (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)

3/4 cup (3 ounces) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed, drained, and warmed (about 1 1/2 cups)

oyster crackers (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add turkey and sirloin to pan; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add 2 cups onion and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 cup water and next 12 ingredients (through puree); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Place about 1/2 cup spaghetti into each of 6 bowls. Ladle 1 cup chili into each bowl. Top each serving with 4 teaspoons remaining onion, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 2 1/2 tablespoons beans. Serve with crackers, if desired.
