- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey (preferably lean)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Brown Turkey: Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season: Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Add Beans and Tomatoes: Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer: Bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are well blended and the chili has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Ladle the turkey chili into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced green onions.
