Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4-5 medium tomatillos
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 4-5 large garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 lb ground turkey
  • 15 oz can of Cannellini beans (drained)
  • 15 oz can Navy or Great Northern white beans (drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2-1 tsp chipotle chili powder (to taste)
  • 1 tsp kosher coarse or sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream*
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced cilantro
  • 1/4 cup full fat sour cream* (optional)

Instruction

  • Prepare your ingredients first. Take the husks off the tomatillos and wash them well. Dice tomatillos, onions, bell pepper, and jalapenos. Mince garlic cloves. Measure remaining ingredients.(Note: I highly recommend that you wear gloves when working with chili peppers of any kind.)
  • Preheat large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil.
  • Add diced onions, bell pepper, and jalapenos, mix, and let them cook until softened.
  • Add diced tomatillos and cook until the veggies are all softened. Move the veggies to the side and add minced garlic in the middle. Let is sauté until fragrant and mix it in with the veggies.
  • Move the veggies to the sides, add a little more oil to the middle if needed, and add the ground turkey to the center. Break it up as much as you can, cover and cook just a few minutes. Lift the lid and break up the meat some more. Keep breaking it up and mixing until the meat is no longer pink. Mix everything together.
  • Add in the beans, seasoning, and chicken stock. Mix everything very well and lower the heat to low. Close the lid but leave a small crack for the steam to escape. Cook about 30 minutes, stirring often. Remember to tastes for salt about half way through.
  • When chili is almost done, stir in heavy whipping cream and sour cream. Let is cook just a couple more minutes and stir in cilantro.
  • Take it off the heat and serve. You can top this turkey chili with some sour cream, cilantro, shredded cheese, and any other toppings you like.
