This easy Turkey Chili recipe is a tried and true family’s favorite. Lean ground turkey breast is simmered with spices and white beans along with some fire roasted corn for a delicious white turkey chili, perfect for chilly evenings.
I remember the first time I made this chili recipe. I had some extra ground turkey that I bought for some turkey meatballs. I was still in the beginning stages of my culinary journey and I wound up finding a turkey chili recipe in the cookbook that needed to be made. A few ingredients from my pantry and I had a bowl of comfort that was so needed that evening.
Over the years, I have played with spices, ingredients and the must have chili fixins and this turkey chili recipe has been my go-to when I want to whip up something comforting that takes no time to just toss in a pot. A bit of browning and the stovetop takes care of the rest. If you want to make it thicker, you can always blitz some of the white beans to thicken up the broth and stir that into the pot about 10 minutes before serving. You can also change it up with ground chicken or even leftover cooked chicken or turkey – especially around the holidays. Just dice or shred it up and fold it into the chili mixture about 10 minutes before you are ready to serve. You can even make a double batch and freeze some of those busy nights.
When you are looking for the perfect white turkey chili recipe, give this easy Turkey Chili a try. I promise you won’t have any leftovers!
