  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until softened.

    Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Brown the Turkey

    Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

    Ensure the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Add Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to release the spices' flavors.

    Adjust the spice levels to your preference.
  4. Combine Other Ingredients

    Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, corn, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well.

    Add more broth if you prefer a thinner chili.
  5. Simmer the Chili

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
