Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (99% lean)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 15 ounces Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 lime Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray or add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables in the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the chili seems too thick, add a bit more broth or water until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your hearty and healthy turkey chili!
