Description: This hearty turkey chili is a comforting and satisfying dish that’s perfect for a cozy night in or a gathering with friends. Packed with lean ground turkey, flavorful spices, and nutritious beans, it’s a wholesome meal that’s easy to make and even easier to enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: diced green onions, shredded cheese, Greek yogurt
Instructions:
- Cook Ground Turkey: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until it is browned and the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Beans and Tomatoes: Stir in the drained and rinsed kidney beans and the diced tomatoes (with their juices). These ingredients will add texture, flavor, and a hearty base to your chili.
- Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth to create a rich and flavorful broth for your chili. Add the chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste. These spices will infuse the chili with warm, aromatic flavors.
- Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken to your desired consistency.
- Serve: Ladle the hot chili into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as diced green onions, shredded cheese, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess. These toppings add texture and a burst of freshness to the chili.
Additional Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to customize this chili by adding other ingredients such as bell peppers, corn, or black beans for extra color and flavor.
- Storage: Leftover chili can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for longer-term storage. Simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave for a quick and convenient meal.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve this hearty turkey chili with a side of cornbread, over cooked rice, or with a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
