Ingredients
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- Sea salt & cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth You can use more if you prefer a more soupy consistency
- 14 oz can of red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 14 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- 14 oz can of cannellini bean, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, juice included
- 2 TBSP tomato paste
- 4-6 TBSP taco seasoning or chili seasoning I like using my homemade taco seasoning
Garnishes
- Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Sliced scallions
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Start by heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Once the oil it warm, add the onions to the pot and let them simmer for 5-7 minutes or until they’ve softened.
- Then add the garlic, letting it simmer for just 30 seconds.
- Transfer the ground turkey to the pot, then add the chopped bell peppers and taco seasoning. Let it all sauté, stirring to distribute the seasoning. Break down the ground meat down into chunks as you go with a spatula or a ground meat chopper until it’s partially cooked.
- When the turkey is partially cooked, add the tomato paste, beans, peas, carrots, tomatoes, and broth. Stir everything well then bring it to a low simmer. Partially cover the pot with a lid and let the chili simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- After 15-20 minutes, check in on things. If the chili is thicker than you’d like, stir in some more broth. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference. You can add more taco seasoning if you need, or more chili flakes if you'd like more of a kick.
- Serve with your favorite garnishes and sides! (See the blog post for side suggestions.)
