A warm and hearty turkey chili that’s packed with protein and bursting with flavor, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 lbs lean ground turkey
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 jalapeños, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Texas Pete recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 packet Stevia

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the lean ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess liquid and transfer the cooked turkey to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  2. Add a little olive oil to the same pot and heat. Add the chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, and jalapeños. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions become translucent and the peppers soften.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds to release its aroma.
  4. Return the browned turkey to the pot.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes, petite diced tomatoes, low sodium beef broth, and tomato paste.
  6. Stir in hot sauce, kidney beans, chili powder, dried oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and the packet of Stevia.
  7. Stir everything well and bring the mixture to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat, cover the pot, and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Once simmered, ladle the chili into bowls and add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro. Enjoy a hearty, healthy turkey chili!

Notes

This chili can be made in a slow cooker by transferring everything after browning the turkey and sautéing the vegetables. Also, feel free to adjust the spice levels to your preference.
