Turkey Chili

a bowl of homemade turkey chili topped with shredded cheese, avocado and green onions
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  1 hr

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 large Jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 3 cups chicken stock

For serving (optional)

  • Grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped green onions
  • Sliced avocado

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the turkey, onion, bell peppers, jalapeño, and garlic and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is browned and the onion and peppers are beginning to soften, 7 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, kidney beans, black beans, tomatoes, and stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes, or until thickened and flavors have come together.
  3. Divide chili between bowls and garnish with cheese, green onions, sour and avocado, if using.
