Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with liquid)
- 15 ounces kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
- 15 ounces black beans (rinsed and drained)

- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the spices coat the turkey evenly.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their liquid), kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the chili thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.
Serve hot with chopped cilantro on top, if desired. Enjoy with tortilla chips, cornbread, or over rice!
