Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced green chilies
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and draining and rinsing the white beans.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it's completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions to the browned turkey and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and slightly softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burn.
- Sprinkle the cumin over the turkey mixture and stir to distribute the spice evenly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans and diced green chilies. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Remove from heat and let the chili rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or shredded cheese if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onions and mince your garlic ahead of time. You can even rinse the white beans the night before to make the cooking process a breeze!
- Brown the Turkey Well: Make sure to thoroughly brown the ground turkey before adding other ingredients. This step enhances the flavor and gives your chili a rich, savory base.
- Adjust the Spice: If you like a little heat, consider adding diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper when you add the cumin. This will give your chili an extra kick!
- Simmer for Flavor: Allowing the chili to simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes helps meld the flavors beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Taste and Season: Don’t forget to taste your chili before serving! Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking, and feel free to add a squeeze of lime for a fresh twist.
- Garnish Creatively: Serve your chili with fresh cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or shredded cheese for added flavor and texture. You can even top it with avocado slices for a creamy finish!
