Healthy Turkey Chili
My healthy turkey chili recipe is an easy one pot meal full of fiber and protein. All you need are some pantry staples, peppers, onions, and ground turkey!
Ingredients
Toppings
Directions
-
Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once heated up, add in 1 tbsp of butter or oil. Then add in the ground turkey. Break apart while it cooks until it's fully crumbled. Let it brown for about 5 minutes until it is just about fully cooked and browned. Set meat aside but leave as much of the oil as you can.
-
Next, add in the other tbsp of butter or oil. Put in the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers. Cook about 7-8 minutes or until browned and soft.
-
Once the pepper and onions are softened, add in the garlic and all of the spices, brown sugar, cocoa, and mustard. Stir to coat everything. Let toast for a couple minutes.
-
Add the can of crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and beans. Make sure to drain and rinse the beans off. Stir well.
-
Put on the lid and let simmer for about 15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add back the turkey meat and stir well. You can add additional water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
-
Serve and enjoy - personally, I think the cheddar cheese and fritos are a must!
Notes
Feel free to use diced tomatoes if you don't mind chunks of tomato in your chili. You can also use the fire roasted kind for additional smokey flavor.
