Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Brown the turkey: In a large pot, brown the ground turkey over medium heat until it’s fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add tomatoes and beans: Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix everything well to combine.
  4. Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and top with optional toppings like sour cream, cheese, or green onions.
