Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until soft.

    Ensure turkey is fully cooked through.
  3. Add Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release flavors.

    Adjust spices to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.

    Use low-sodium broth for a healthier option.
  5. Simmer Chili

    Reduce heat to low and let chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
