Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 2 lb ground turkey

Vegetables

  • 1 cup onions, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced (about 2 medium)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Liquids

  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Cook the turkey: In a large pot or dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground turkey. Sauté for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is fully cooked and no longer pink.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Once the turkey is cooked, add the crushed tomatoes, chicken bone broth, minced onions, diced green bell pepper, diced carrots, minced garlic, and all the spices including paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, turmeric, and cinnamon. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Simmer the chili: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium and let it simmer uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and allow flavors to meld together.
  4. Serve and enjoy: After simmering, serve the chili hot with your choice of favorite toppings such as avocado slices, fresh cilantro, or chopped green onions.

Notes

  • For a thicker chili, simmer longer with the lid off to allow more liquid to evaporate.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings to add extra flavor and texture.
  • Bone broth adds extra nutrition and richness to the chili, but you can substitute with regular chicken broth if necessary.
  • This recipe is ideal for meal prepping and tastes even better the next day as flavors continue to develop.
  • Adjust salt and spices to your taste preference.
