Instructions

  1. In a 5 Qt pot or Dutch oven over medium/high heat, add 1 Tbsp olive oil and sautee ground turkey until cooked through (5 min). 
  2. Add diced onion, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Sautee 5 minutes or until onions are softened. 
  3. Add canned diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, beans, diced jalapeños or chilis, and corn.
  4. Stir to combine and bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water or chicken stock towards the end if you prefer a thinner chili. Keep in mind it thickens slightly as it cools. Season to taste towards the end of cooking (I like to add an extra 1/2 tsp salt).

Notes

  • *To Make Turkey Chili in the Slow Cooker: Complete steps 1 and 2 on the stovetop (or in your slow cooker if you have a sautee function). After step 2, transfer the turkey mixture and the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
  • *Chili Toppings - Make an epic taco bar with your favorite toppings in small bowls: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, chopped green onion, jalapenos, hot sauce and black olives. 
  • Storage Tips  - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat: thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through.
