Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground turkey*
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1.5 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 14.5 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 10 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chiles (Rotel)
  • 15 oz. can red kidney beans, drained
  • 15 oz. can pinto beans, drained
  • 2 cups chicken broth**

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey to the pot, crumble, and cook until browned.
  • Next add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Stir and cook the veggies with the turkey meat for 3 minutes or until the veggies have softened.
  • Now add the tomato paste and chili seasonings (chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper) to the pot. Mix together and cook for 1 minute.
  • Next add the fire-roasted tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes, kidney beans and pinto beans to the pot. Then pour in the chicken broth. Stir everything together until combined.
  • Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the chili up to a boil. As soon as the chili starts boiling, stir the ingredients again, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with the lid and simmer the chili for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the chili is done simmering, remove the pot from the heat and serve warm with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. You can swap out the ground turkey for ground beef or ground chicken.
  2. Swap the chicken broth for beef broth when using ground beef meat.
