Fall is here and so is soup and chili season! I made this chili recipe my own. I added small touches that make it a little healthier and a little spicier than your normal chili recipe.
This recipe is super easy to make! You can even make it in the crockpot if you need or want to, just make sure you brown the meat first. I use ground turkey instead of ground beef for a more lean option. I use jalapeños instead of a green pepper for a spicer option. If you want a more traditional chili, just use the ground beef and green pepper instead. However, I prefer it with ground turkey and jalapeños!
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. ground turkey
- 1 package of chili seasoning
- 1 sweet onion (diced)
- 3 jalape˜nos (diced)
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 46 fl oz. can tomato juice
- 1 can black beans
- 2 cans kidney beans
- 1 can chili beans (or bean of choice – I do cannellini beans)
- 1 cup of water
- Drizzle of oil
Directions:
- Heat a drizzle of oil in pot and add ground turkey breaking it up into small pieces as it begins to brown.
- Add package of chili seasoning, garlic, onion and jalape˜nos. Cook until onion & jalapeños have softened.
- Drain and rinse beans.
- Add beans, tomato juice, and 1 cup of water.
- Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 1-2 hours.
- Optional: top with shredded cheese, green onion, sour cream, corn chips, etc.
- Enjoy!
