Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (99% lean)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 15 ounces Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray or add a splash of water to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the turkey and vegetables in the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If the chili seems too thick, add a bit more broth or water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your hearty and healthy turkey chili!
