Instructions 

  • In a Dutch oven, or large heavy bottomed soup pot, over medium-high heat, add the ground turkey, onion, and bell pepper. Cook stirring often and breaking apart the meat as it cooks, until turkey is cooked through.
  • Add garlic and chili seasoning and simmer for 2 minutes more. Then stir in the Rotel tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce.
  • Bring to a simmer once more and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, until thickened. Serve warm with your favorite toppings. If you have extra time, allowing the chili to simmer for longer over medium-low heat will allow the flavors to intensify!

Notes

Store: Transfer cooled leftover turkey chili to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheat: If reheating a large amount, reheat chili in a pot on the stove, adding a splash of broth or water to maintain the chili’s consistency. For single servings, the microwave works great.
Freeze: This chili freezes beautifully, just let it cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight for best results before reheating.
Make Ahead: If you’re planning to serve this chili at a gathering, you can make it ahead of time and keep it warm in a slow cooker for hours!
