Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 can canned diced tomatoes (14 oz)
- 1 can canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 1 can canned black beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- optional toppings (cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, cilantro)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano over the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything in the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Season the chili with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the chili has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded, remove it from the heat.
Serve the turkey chili hot, topped with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, or fresh cilantro if desired.
