Best 5 Three Bean Turkey Chili Recipes

TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a large pot or Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray and place over MEDIUM heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and return the pot to the heat.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, onion, garlic, and red wine. Season with the chili powder, cumin, parsley, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves.
• Bring the chili to a simmer over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, then reduce the heat to LOW, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Stir the chili occasionally as it simmers.
• Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.
• Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over MEDIUM heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, stirring to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the ground turkey to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, as directed.
• Cover and cook on LOW heat for 4 to 6 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.

Stir stewed tomatoes, chili beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, jalapeno pepper, garlic, chili powder, molasses, cumin, bouillon cube, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper into turkey mixture.
• Bring chili to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover pot. Simmer until vegetables are tender and flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.

THREE BEAN TURKEY & CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Put 2 Tbl. oil in large soup pot and heat over medium high heat. Add turkey & chicken and cook, breaking up and stirring, until no pink remains. Pour into colander to drain oil.
• In the same pot, put remaining 2 Tbl. oil and heat over medium high heat. Add onions, garlic & green peppers and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. While vegetables are cooking, mix chili powder, pepper, salt, oregano & sugar in a small bowl to combine.
• Return drained meat to pot with onion mixture and reduce heat to medium. Stir spice mixture into pot and stir continuously over medium heat until spices are well mixed into the meat and vegetables, about 2 minutes.
• If using fresh diced carrots, microwave (covered) in a little water on high for about 2 minutes. Drain and stir into the pot. (If using canned carrots, don't add them until you add the corn.)
• Add all tomatoes & sauce, plus beer, and mix well. Stir in all rinsed and drained beans and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chili is bubbling.
• Once chili is bubbling, reduce heat to low or medium low and cook for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. (I often cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.)
• Stir in corn (and diced, drained & rinsed canned carrots, if using) and continue cooking on low or medium low for at least another half hour, stirring occasionally.
• This chili is fabulous the next day, too - and it freezes well.

THREE BEAN TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Saute in pan chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper and ground turkey until brown.
• Meanwhile, open all your canned goods. I like to rinse my beans. Add all canned goods (beans, diced tomatoes, sauce and paste) into a large pot, or as I prefer, a slow cooker. Turn pot on medium or slow cooker on high. Add cumin, chili powder and bay leaves. Stir well until fully mixed and the paste is blended well.
• By now your meat should be browned. Drain excess fat and add all to pot/slow cooker. Lower heat if cooking in pot to low (if cooking in slow cooker, keep on high). Simmer for 1 hour at least. I like to keep mine cooking over an hr to really let the flavors mingle. Stir occasionally.
• Remove bay leaves prior to servince. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with grated cheese, sour cream, diced onion, or any other garnishes you wish. Makes wonderful leftovers too!
