Turkey Chili
You won’t miss the high-fat beef in this hearty, well-seasoned dish, which relies on extra-lean ground turkey and black beans for its thick consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey, at least 90-94% lean
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups water
- 2 large onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground red pepper, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, or 1:1 gluten-free flour
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups frozen corn kernels, optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the turkey, stirring to break up it up into crumbles. If there is a considerable amount of fat collected, drain it off. Add the tomatoes, water, onions, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and red pepper. Mix thoroughly. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring about 2 minutes. Stir in the beans, corn, extra seasonings to taste, and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
