Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the rinsed and drained black beans, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño with the onions.
Top with your favorite chili toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
