Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds extra lean ground turkey
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 (4 fluid ounce) cans diced green chilies
- 2 (14 fluid ounce) cans white kidney (cannellini) beans, drained
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Avocado slices
- Tortilla strips
- Cilantro
- Additional sour cream
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Chop the onion and mince the garlic to prepare all key aromatics ready for cooking.
- Sauté Onion: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Cook Turkey: Add the extra lean ground turkey to the pot. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink and fully white throughout, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, minced garlic, diced green chilies, and drained white kidney beans. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Simmer Chili: Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium so it gently simmers. Allow it to cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to meld flavors.
- Finish and Season: Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream to add creaminess and richness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Serve: Serve the chili immediately, optionally topped with shredded cheese, avocado slices, tortilla strips, cilantro, or additional sour cream according to preference.
Notes
- For a spicier chili, add jalapeños or increase the amount of diced green chilies.
- Can be made ahead and reheated; flavors intensify after resting.
- To make this dish dairy-free, omit sour cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
- Pair with cornbread or a green salad for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
