Ground Turkey Chili
Description
The recipe starts by softening diced onion and red bell pepper in olive oil, which provides a flavorful base. Ground turkey is browned and broken up to cook evenly before incorporating beans and two types of canned tomatoes. A blend of chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, garlic, black pepper, and salt season the mixture, giving it characteristic chili flavor with a mild to moderate heat level due to cayenne.
After bringing to a boil, the chili simmers for 20 to 30 minutes, allowing flavors to combine and the chili to thicken to a satisfying consistency. This dish is protein-rich and filling, ideal for serving with toppings such as cheese, sour cream, or diced onions according to preference.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For those sensitive to spice, omitting the cayenne reduces heat without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
