Turkey Chili - Quick & Healthy

This tasty chili recipe is as easy as it gets.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 4-5 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (or one store-bought packet); recipe for making your own taco mix at www.TheYummyLife.com/recipes/76
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (fire-roasted recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1 to 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
  • salt to taste

Directions
Add olive oil to Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles as it cooks. Sprinkle on taco seasoning mix and stir to coat turkey thoroughly; cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and stir; then add diced tomatoes, beans, green chiles, and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir. Add more chicken broth, if needed, to reach desired consistency (thick or brothy--your choice). Heat through and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.

Want it spicier? Add a dash of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, chopped cilantro
