Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil
- 1 yellow onion (peeled and diced)
- 2 jalapeño peppers (trimmed and diced)
- 3 bell peppers (trimmed, deseeded, and diced)
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock (plus more if needed)
- 1 28- ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 14.5- ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 15- ounce navy beans (drained and rinsed)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Spice Mixture:
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne powder (more or less to taste)
- 2 teaspoons dry Mexican oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dry coriander
Instructions
Prepare the Spice Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the spice mixture and set aside.
Brown the Turkey:
- In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until well-browned all over, about 10 minutes. Season with half the spice mixture and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Brown the Aromatics:
- If the pot seems dry, add a bit more oil. Add the onion and cook, turning occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the jalapeño and diced peppers and cook an additional 4-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Add the Liquid:
- Pour in the stock and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes and white beans and bring to a boil.
Cook the Chili:
- Add the cooked turkey along with the remaining spice mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the vegetables are completely softened. Taste and season again to your preferences.
Finish the Chili:
- Stir in the cream cheese until melted into the chili. Turn off the heat.
To Serve:
- Divide the chili between bowls and garnish with a bit of dry oregano leaves and a sprinkle of chili powder. Enjoy!
