Notes
- Use lean ground turkey in this recipe or replace with any ground meat of your choice. 2-3 cups of leftover diced turkey can be used in place of ground turkey.
- To make prep quick, while the turkey is browning, prepare the remaining ingredients.
- The chili will thicken as it simmers, for a thicker chili, simmer longer.
- As with most chili recipes, this makes great leftovers and reheats well.
- Keep turkey chili in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 4 months. Reheat on the stovetop until heated through.
