2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 leek, white and light green parts only, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons chile powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 cups homemade turkey or chicken stock or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
2 cups prepared turkey gravy
2 pounds shredded cooked turkey
2 (15.8-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Cornbread Batter
8 tablespoons shredded white cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions, celery, leek, and carrots; cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, chile powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt until combined. Add stock, crushed tomatoes, gravy, and shredded turkey; increase heat to medium high and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.

This chili is not worth the effort. It's bland and flavorless.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then have it for lunch or dinner during the week.

The cheesy cornbread topping is the perfect finishing touch to this chili. It adds a little bit of sweetness and crunch.

This turkey chili was a lifesaver! I had a ton of leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and didn't know what to do with it. This recipe was easy to follow and the chili turned out amazing. My family loved it!
