Description
A hearty and healthy chili recipe made with lean ground turkey, beans, and veggies, perfect for meal prep or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 medium bell peppers, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 15 oz canned kidney beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Transfer the turkey and veggies to your slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, frozen corn, chicken broth, and all the spices. Stir well to combine.
- Set your crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the flavors have melded and the chili is bubbling gently.
- Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Browning the turkey and sautéing the veggies first adds depth of flavor. Customize the heat level with cayenne or jalapeños. Chili tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
