• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 4-ounce can canned green chilies, diced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the chopped yellow onion, garlic, and green bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute to release the spices' flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and add the cannellini beans. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh lime juice and sour cream, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve the chili hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Optionally, add toppings like shredded cheese, diced avocado, or crushed tortilla chips.
