- 1 can (15 oz) Low-sodium kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 oz) Diced tomatoes with no salt added
- 1 can (8 oz) Tomato sauce (low sodium)
- 0.25 cup Sweet chili sauce (low sugar, if available)
- 1 Bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté the diced onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Step 2
Add minced garlic and diced bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 3
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Step 4
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
Step 5
Add the black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth to adjust the chili's consistency to your liking. Mix well.
Step 7
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a splash of extra sweet chili sauce for more sweetness, or more spices if desired.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice if preferred. Enjoy with a side of brown rice, whole grain crackers, or simply on its own!
