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 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more for extra spice)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

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 and green bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), rinsed white beans, and chicken broth.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to your taste before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, remove the lid for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Use Great Northern or cannellini beans for the best texture in this recipe.
  • Add a splash of lime juice at the end for brightness.
