Introduction

Hey there! This turkey chili is a hearty, healthy alternative to beef chili. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion—like a cozy night in or a game day gathering.

Ingredients

- 1 lb ground turkey (mix of white and dark meat for extra flavor) - 1 onion, chopped - 1 bell pepper, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 2 tbsp chili powder (try a blend of ancho and guajillo for more depth) - 1 tsp cumin - 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes - 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed - 1 cup chicken broth - Salt and pepper to taste - Optional: 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1 jalapeño (chopped) for heat

Step 1 - Cook Vegetables

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2 - Add Garlic

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3 - Brown Turkey

Add ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4 - Add Spices

Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.

Step 5 - Add Liquids and Beans

Pour in diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 6 - Simmer

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions. Pair with cornbread or tortilla chips for the perfect meal.

Extra Tips for Success

If you have 2 cups of shredded cooked turkey (great for post-Thanksgiving!), skip browning and add it after Step 5 (liquids and beans), then simmer to heat through.
