Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ yellow onion minced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 Anaheim peppers stems and seeds removed and finely chopped; could also use green bell pepper or a 4-ounce can of diced green chiles
- 1 pound ground white turkey meat
- 1 15-ounce can of cannellini beans with bean broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- 2 cups chicken stock can also use veggie stock or turkey stock
- Garnish options: a few dollops of creme fraîche or sour cream could also add torn cilantro leaves, shredded cheese if you like, and a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Add the ground turkey, and using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into smaller pieces. Cook turkey until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, dried oregano, chili powder, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Stir together all all the spices are well combined with the meat, peppers, and aromatics. Cook until the spices begin to toast and release their fragrant aromas, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the beans with their bean broth, stock, and bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer and cook the chili, uncovered for about 15 to 20 minutes, to allow flavors to meld together and the chili to thicken slightly.
- Ladle chili into bowls and garnish as desired.
