Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 medium Yellow Onion, Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, Chopped
- 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Turkey (99%)
- 2 cans Dark Red Kidney Beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can Sweet Corn, 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 28 ounces Diced or Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and red bell pepper; sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add the extra lean ground turkey to the pot. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 20 seconds to release the aromas, stirring continuously.
- Pour in the diced or crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans, and corn. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the chili simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve topped with shredded cheese, avocado slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
Notes
- For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered, and consider using crushed tomatoes.
- This turkey chili tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
- Serve topped with fresh ingredients like avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese for added flavor.
