Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium White onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Canned great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 ounces Canned green chilies (mild or hot, depending on preference)
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice (optional, for garnish)
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 and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the pot. Cook and crumble the turkey until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, oregano, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the great northern beans, green chilies, and frozen corn. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. For a thicker chili, use a potato masher to lightly mash some of the beans directly in the pot.
Serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
