Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (99% fat-free)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce (no salt added)
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- optional toppings (e.g., scallions, cilantro, non-fat Greek yogurt, or shredded reduced-fat cheese)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the lean ground turkey and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess liquid, then return the turkey to the pot.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the chili has thickened to your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or spices as preferred.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your choice of optional toppings, such as scallions, cilantro, a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of reduced-fat shredded cheese.
Enjoy this hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion!
