Ingredients

  • 1 lb of lean ground turkey 450g
  • 2 large red bell peppers diced
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14 oz of diced tomatoes (400g)
  • 1 can 15 oz of black beans, drained and rinsed (425g)
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil 30ml
  • 2 tsp of chili powder 10g
  • 1 tsp of cumin 5g
  • ½ tsp of paprika 2.5g
  • ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper optional for added heat (1g)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups of chicken broth 475ml
  • 2 tbsp of fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once warm, toss in the onions and garlic. Saute until the onions become translucent.
  • Add in the lean ground turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until it’s browned and cooked through.
  • Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well, ensuring the turkey is well coated with the spices.
  • Next, pour in the diced tomatoes, black beans, and diced red bell peppers. Stir everything together.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, mixing everything well. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to meld together.
  • Season your Nutritious Hot Body Turkey Chili with salt and pepper. Adjust according to your preference.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For a thicker chili consistency, you can blend a portion of the chili and mix it back into the pot.
If you like your chili spicier, feel free to add more cayenne or even some chopped jalapenos.
Ground turkey is a lean protein, but for extra leanness, look for turkey that’s at least 93% lean.
Always let your chili sit for a few minutes after cooking. The flavors intensify as it cools slightly.
  • This Nutritious Hot Body Turkey Chili is excellent when paired with a side of brown rice or quinoa, amplifying its nutritional value.
  • Consider serving with a side of whole-grain tortilla chips for a crunchy texture.
  • A dollop of Greek yogurt on top not only enhances its creaminess but also introduces beneficial probiotics.
  • If you’re aiming for a low-carb meal, pair your Nutritious Hot Body Turkey Chili with a fresh green salad, drizzled with a light vinaigrette.
