Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 2 bell peppers trimmed, deseeded, and diced
  • 1 jalapeño trimmed and diced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne powder more or less to taste
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 15 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomato
  • 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

Brown the Turkey:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the turkey and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until mostly cooked through.

Cook the Aromatics:

  • Add the onion and peppers to the pot and cook, stirring regularly until softened. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne powder.

Add the Liquid:

  • Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Simmer the Chili:

  • Add the tomatoes, black beans, and wild rice. Taste and season again with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and cook for 45 minutes until the rice is tender. Add more liquid as necessary if the rice absorbs too much. Taste and season again to your preferences.

To Serve:

  • Once the rice is tender, turn off the heat. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with cilantro, cheddar, and a lime wedge if desired. Enjoy!
