SKINNY COWBOY TURKEY CHILI
This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

Tips for Making the Best Chunky Cowboy Chili:
- Use high-quality beef: The type of beef you use will greatly impact the flavor of your chili. Look for chuck roast or stew meat, which are both flavorful and tender cuts of beef.
- Brown the beef in batches: Browning the beef in batches will help to prevent it from steaming and ensure that it gets a nice, even sear.
- Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for three different types of beans: black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans to create your own unique chili.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Chili is all about the spices! Be sure to use a generous amount of chili powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
- Let the chili simmer: The longer you simmer the chili, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have time.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is the perfect comfort food, and it's even better when it's topped with your favorite ingredients. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
Conclusion:
This chunky cowboy chili is the perfect meal for a cold winter day. It's hearty, flavorful, and packed with protein. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this chili a try!
