Instructions

1
|
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 5-6 minutes until onion is translucent and softened. Add the garlic and spices and sauté 30 seconds more.
2
|
Add the ground turkey and 1/4 cup water and stir, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
3
|
While the turkey is cooking, mash one cup of the rinsed and drained beans in a bowl with a fork. When the turkey is cooked through, add the mashed beans, whole beans, tomatoes and chicken broth, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat slightly, and simmer 20-30 more minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lime wedges and avocado if desired and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Bean Prep Perfection 🫘
    Always rinse canned cannellini beans thoroughly and pat dry to prevent excess moisture and ensure a thicker, more concentrated chili texture.
  • Spice Layer Strategy 🌶️
    Toast your dry spices like cumin and chili powder in the olive oil for 30-45 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles.
  • Turkey Browning Technique 🦃
    Use a wooden spoon to break down ground turkey into small, uniform crumbles and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve perfect caramelization and prevent steaming.
  • Acid Balance Trick 🍋
    Add fresh lime juice at the very end of cooking to brighten the entire dish and balance the rich, hearty flavors of the chili.
  • Meal Prep Magic 🥣
    This chili tastes even better the next day, so intentionally make extra and let flavors meld overnight in the refrigerator for maximum depth.
