Units
Scale
- 4 Tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 lb. Italian turkey sausage, if using links, remove from casing
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (16 oz.) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large dutch-oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. You’ll need a pot 6.5 quart or bigger. Add turkey sausage and ground turkey. Cook until browned for 7-10 minutes while using a wooden spoon to crumble the meat as it cooks.
- Stir in onions, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 5-8 minutes or until the onions soften, stirring frequently. If needed, reduce the heat.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, partially covered. The chili should reduce and thicken.
- Stir in beans and corn. Cook just until heated through. Taste for salt and pepper, and add more as needed. Serve with chili toppings of choice.
Notes
- Slow Cooker: You can easily make this chili in a slow cooker. Brown the turkey meat and vegetables as written. Transfer to a slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Cook on high 6 to 8 hours or low 10 to 12 hours.
- Leftovers: Leftover chili will last in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months when stored in an airtight container.
