Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion; diced
- 4 tsp. garlic; minced
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans; rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans; rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans; rinsed and drained
- Sour cream (for serving)
- Jalapeños; sliced (for serving)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (for serving)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic; sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the ground turkey, breaking it up as it cooks. Continue to cook for about 5–7 minutes until the meat is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Mix in the brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste. Stir until everything is well combined and aromatic.
- Pour in the beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and all the rinsed beans. Make sure to scrape the bottom off the pot to incorporate all the lovely bits.
- Cover the pot and bring the chili to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the chili thickens too much, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
- After simmering, serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, jalapeños, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Enjoy every piping-hot bowl!
