Turkey Chili: Why Should I Pick It? 

If you want a lighter version of beef chili, try turkey chili. It still has all the strong tastes you love. It is healthy and filling because it is made with lean protein and fiber-rich beans. This dish is perfect for anyone who wants a filling meal that tastes rich but is still good for them. 

Things You Will Need 

Some essential pantry items and fresh ingredients are needed to make this turkey chili: 

• Ground turkey is the main ingredient and makes a great lean protein base. 
• Olive oil is used to cook the onions and cover the turkey. 
• Onions and garlic smell good and give the chili more depth and taste. 
• For flavor and texture, use canned crushed tomatoes and kidney beans. 
• The classic chili taste is a combination of chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. 

Easy Ways to Make Tasty Chili 

Cooking With Olive Oil: The turkey should be cooked by browning ground in olive oil in a big pot until it’s no longer pink.  

Add Aromatics: Next, cook the chopped onions until they’re soft and transparent. Then add chopped garlic and stir until it smells good. 

Put Everything Together: Then add the kidney beans and crushed tomatoes. Stir it all well. 

Season: This is where you create your chili! Put all the spices in the pot and stir them around a lot to ensure they are spread evenly. 

Simmer: Boil the pot, turn down the heat, cover, and let it cook slowly for 30 minutes. The slow cooking helps the flavors blend nicely. 

How to Serve Your Turkey Chili 

There are many ways to serve turkey soup. It tastes great on top of a fried potato, with a piece of crusty bread, or with a fresh salad. Serving it with cornbread or rice will make it more classic. Remember the toppings! You can let everyone make their bowl by adding sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions, or even avocado pieces. 

How to Store 

You’re lucky to have turkey chili left over because it keeps well. If you put it in a container that doesn’t let air in, it will last up to four days in the fridge or three months in the freezer. Leave some room in the jar for the chili to expand when you freeze it.
