Categories     Bean     turkey

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained
1 15-ounce can Great Northern beans, drained
1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes with juices
1 4-ounce can diced mild green chilies
3 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
4 teaspoons minced seeded jalapeno chilies
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and saute until brown, about 7 minutes.

Mix in chopped fresh cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the chili. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and prevent the chili from boiling over.
  • Brown the turkey before adding it to the chili. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of beans in the chili. This will give the chili a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Add some chopped vegetables to the chili, such as carrots, celery, and onions. This will add sweetness and depth of flavor to the chili.
  • Season the chili to taste with chili powder, cumin, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions.
