Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1/2 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 carrots chopped
- 1 zucchini diced
- 1 cup kernel corn
- 15 oz can whole, peeled tomatoes in sauce
- 15 oz black beans
- 15 oz kidney beans
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cacao powder
Instructions
- Heat olive or avocado oil in a deep Dutch oven, casserole or soup pot on low-medium heat
- Break up a pound of lean ground turkey as it cooks in the pot and starts to brown
- Add in diced onion and chopped garlic and cook until onion becomes translucent
- Add in chopped carrots and all other vegetables, along with a can of whole, peeled tomatoes. Break them up with a spoon as they start to cook. Put a lid on the pot and reduce the heat to low to let the veggies steam and soften
- Stir in the spices and beans (drained and rinsed well). Keep the lid on the pot while the chili cooks on a low simmer for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. If it starts to become too thick, add 1/2 cup of water or broth as needed
- Spoon chili into bowls and garnish with toppings of choice (sour cream, avocado slices, chives, tortilla chips, and/or grated cheese)
