A hearty and flavorful chili recipe that transforms ground turkey into a delicious comfort food.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the pot is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned.
Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they are translucent for the best flavor.
Add the beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices to the pot.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro for added flavor.
