• 1. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the hot Italian turkey sausage, ground sirloin, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and green bell pepper. Break up the sausage with a wooden spoon until both meats are no longer pink.
  2. Add ground clove, allspice, cinnamon, chili powder, oregano, brown sugar, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the meats evenly.
  3. Stir in red wine, Italian plum tomatoes (crushed with fingers), Rotel, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer partially covered for one hour. Stir occasionally.
  4. Serve hot and top with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped onion to taste.
