Description

A hearty and flavorful chili made with lean ground turkey, a blend of kidney and black beans, diced tomatoes, and warm spices. Inspired by Deer Valley Resort, this turkey chili is perfect for cozy family meals or meal prepping for the week. The combination of lean protein and fiber-rich beans creates a satisfying and nutritious dish that warms you up on a chilly day.

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Legumes and Canned Goods

  • 1 can kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 1 can diced tomatoes

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth

Spices and Oils

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Turkey: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the turkey. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Spices: Stir in chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavors, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the drained kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with juices), and chicken broth. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine.
  5. Simmer the Chili: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let it cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens and flavors meld together.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the chili and adjust salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot, optionally topped with cheese, sour cream, or avocado for extra richness.

Notes

  • Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced avocado for added creaminess and flavor.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding cayenne pepper for heat or omit for milder flavor.
  • The chili tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop further, making it ideal for leftovers and meal prep.
