Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 large, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 large, diced Green bell pepper
• 28 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces, drained and rinsed Black beans
• 15 ounces, drained and rinsed Kidney beans
• 1 cup, fresh or frozen Corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 cup, chopped (for serving) Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the pot and cook for about 3 more minutes until the peppers are tender.

Step 3

Increase the heat slightly and add the lean ground turkey to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is browned and fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, corn kernels, and low-sodium chicken broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 6

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
