In large saucepan, brown ground beef. If using turkey, heat oil and brown turkey. Stir to break up meat. Add onions and garlic, saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chili, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1 hour. Stir occasionally, uncover to thicken or add hot water if needed until desired consistency is reached. Add beans with liquid and heat 15 minutes to blend flavors.
