• 2 tablespoon chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, red pepper, and green pepper, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the pot and add the lean ground turkey to the empty side.

Step 5

Break up the turkey with a spatula and cook until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and ground black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the canned tomatoes (undrained) and the chicken broth, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Add the kidney beans and black beans, stirring well to incorporate them into the mixture.

Step 9

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

After the chili has thickened to your desired consistency, taste and season with more pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions if desired.
