- 1 1⁄4 cups chicken broth
- 2 (15 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, rinsed and drained
directions
- Place oil in a large pot and place over medium high heat. Add in onion, garlic and red pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Next 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.
- Next add in tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as necessary. Garnish with anything you'd like.
- Makes 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each.
- Typically, McCormick's Chili Powder is used in this recipe, which is very mild. If you're using something else, I would start with 2-3 tablespoons instead of 4.
- To make this recipe in the slow cooker: Reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup and brown the turkey and onions before adding to the slow cooker. This is an awesome tailgating or football party recipe!
