Time 55m

Yield 9 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 lb extra lean ground turkey
4 tablespoons mccormick's chili powder (use 2-3 if using other brand)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2 (15 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large pot and place over medium high heat. Add in onion, garlic and red pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Next add in ground turkey and break up the meat; cooking until no longer pink. Next add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt; stir for about 20 seconds.
  • Next add in tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as necessary. Garnish with anything you'd like.
  • Makes 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each.
  • Typically, McCormick's Chili Powder is used in this recipe, which is very mild. If you're using something else, I would start with 2-3 tablespoons instead of 4.
  • To make this recipe in the slow cooker: Reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup and brown the turkey and onions before adding to the slow cooker. This is an awesome tailgating or football party recipe!

TURKEY CHILI



Turkey Chili image

You might not think of chili as an easy weeknight dish, but this turkey version from Pierre Franey will change your mind. It's fabulous, it's healthy and it can be ready in about a half hour. A combination of dark and white meat really adds depth and richness of flavor, so try to find a mix, but all white meat (or a mixture of ground beef and turkey) will yield a stellar batch too.
