Favorite Soup: Turkey Chili

Sharing one of my favorite soup recipes Turkey Chili

It’s that season…soup season!! If you’re like me I’m always cold, so I crave soup during this time of year. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite soup recipes! First up in this blog post is this Turkey Chili recipe that I got from Pinterest which is a recipe from Ambitious Kitchen. It says that it’s the best turkey chili, and I would have to agree!

Here’s the recipe, but I tweaked it for my family. 😉

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons olive oil (I just eyeball this)
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 pound extra lean ground turkey or chicken (I do 2 pounds)
4 tablespoons chili powder (I do 5 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons ground cumin (I do 3 teaspons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (I do 2 teaspoons)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I leave this one out)
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
1 1/4 cups chicken broth (I do 2 cartons of chicken broth)
2 (15 oz) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (I leave this out)
1 (15 oz) can sweet corn, rinsed and drained
For topping: cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream

DIRECTIONS

Place oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in onion, garlic and red pepper and saute.
Add in ground turkey and break up the meat; cooking until no longer pink. Next add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt; stir for about 20 seconds.
Add in tomatoes, chicken broth, and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. …I probably do 20 minutes 😉

I have an Instagram reel showing the process here! Using our Hestan 48” 5-burner all gas range with 12” griddle and notice the backlit knobs when the range is in use!
