Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream and shredded cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped bell pepper, diced tomatoes (with their juice), kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker chili, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, and with optional sour cream and shredded cheese on the side.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or peppers if desired.
- This chili can be made ahead of time and tastes even better the next day.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
