Description

A simple and hearty ground turkey chili made on the stovetop.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and tomato sauce.
  4. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine.
  5. Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. For a richer flavor, you can simmer it longer.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.

Notes

  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
  • This chili freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
