Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned. Break it into crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Transfer the cooked turkey mixture to the Crock Pot.
Add the great northern beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the Crock Pot. Stir to combine.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, stir the softened cream cheese into the chili. Mix until it is fully melted and incorporated.
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices as needed.
Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.
Ladle the chili into bowls and top with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or crushed tortilla chips if desired.
