Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded turkey, white beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally, adding more broth if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the chili hot, garnished with any toppings of your choice, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs.
Notes
Olive oil adds flavor and helps sauté the onion and garlic. For a vegetarian version, swap turkey for more beans or a plant-based protein. White beans offer a creamy texture that complements the chili well.
