Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey (lean)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) white kidney beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp black pepper

Salt to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lime

Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Avocado slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Turkey: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Aromatics: Once the turkey is browned, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

      Combine Ingredients: Stir in the drained white beans, corn, diced green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.

        Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

          Finish with Lime: Once the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded, stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

            Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls, and garnish with chopped cilantro and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy your wholesome white turkey chili!
