- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Add the kidney beans, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the lime juice and taste the chili. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
