Easy Turkey Chili

Not my best photo! Also, this should have simmered for 5 minutes longer to thicken but I was in a rush :) Still super tasty though!

This is the simplest recipe for turkey chili! I’ll make a big pot and then have it for lunches throughout the week. It’s hearty, filling, delicious - and it comes together so quickly! Pictured is a cornbread recipe I was testing out too. That still needs some work :)

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ yellow onion, diced

  • 2 pounds ground turkey 

  • 2 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 2 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • ¾ cup chicken broth

  • 3 (15 oz) cans beans, rinsed and drained

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent.

  • Add the turkey and another good pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up the meat, for about 5 minutes.

  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a simmer.

  • Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chili has thickened.

  • Taste and adjust seasonings if needed!

  • Optional: top with cheese, avocado, jalapeños, sour cream, greek yogurt, or anything else you like!
