A hearty, soulful chili featuring the lighter touch of ground turkey. Embrace the familiar warmth of traditional chili spices, balanced with the subtle sweetness of perfectly ripe tomatoes and the satisfying texture of beans. A versatile dish, equally comforting served straight from the stovetop or after a long simmer in a slow cooker.

01 Step

Recipe View 15 mins In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

05 Step

Recipe View 2 hrs 20 mins Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will meld and deepen. For a thinner consistency, add a bit more beef broth during simmering; for a thicker chili, simmer uncovered during the last 15-20 minutes. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 45-120 minutes)

For added depth, consider browning the ground turkey with a tablespoon of chili powder.
Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred level of spiciness. For a milder chili, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before dicing.
This chili is excellent served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, or a side of cornbread.
Slow Cooker Option: After completing steps 1-3, transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
