- 1 lb ground turkey,
- 1 large onion, diced,
- 2 cloves garlic, minced,
- 1 bell pepper, diced,
- 1 can diced tomatoes,
- 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed,
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed,
- 2 tablespoons chili powder,
- 1 teaspoon cumin,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 1 cup chicken broth,

Begin by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and chopping the bell pepper. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the pot. Stir in chili powder and cumin. Cook until vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for at least 20 minutes. The longer it cooks, the more the flavors will meld together.
Once the chili has thickened to your liking, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like sliced avocado, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or fresh cilantro. Enjoy your delicious and healthy turkey chili!
