Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 diced onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 diced green bell pepper
- 1 diced and seeded jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 bay leaf
- 15 oz can of crushed tomatillos*
- 15 oz can of white kidney beans (strained and rinsed)
- 15 oz can of white pinto beans (strained and rinsed)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- A handful of roughly chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
To Serve (Optional):
- Sour Cream
- Diced Avocado
- Roughly Chopped Cilantro
- Sliced Green Onions
- Lime Wedges
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften, about 4-5 minutes.
- Introduce the garlic, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s no longer pink, roughly 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatillos, broth, and bay leaf. Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and gently simmer for 20 minutes. After this time, add the beans, stir to combine, and continue simmering for an additional 20 minutes.
- Once the chili is cooked, remove it from the heat, add cilantro, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- To serve, ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro to your liking.
Notes
Tomatillos: If you can’t find crushed tomatillos, tomatillo salsa is an equally suitable alternative.
