A recipe for a lean and spicy chili featuring ground turkey and white beans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more for extra heat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the rinsed beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), green chilies (with juice), and chicken broth to the pot.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more cayenne pepper if you desire more heat.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove the lid during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
  • You can substitute Great Northern or navy beans for cannellini beans.
  • If you use a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
