  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh avocado, for topping
  • Shredded cheese, for topping
  • Sour cream, for topping
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground turkey: In a large pot, heat over medium heat until browned, stirring occasionally to break it apart.
  2. Add onion and garlic: Incorporate the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the beans: Add the drained and rinsed white beans into the pot, mixing well with the turkey and onions.
  4. Add salsa verde and spices: Pour in the salsa verde, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients blend together seamlessly.
  5. Bring to a simmer: Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a low simmer.
  6. Cook for flavor melding: Allow the chili to simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, which lets the flavors develop beautifully.
  7. Serve hot: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro for added taste and texture.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent sticking, and adjust spices to your taste. Serve with warm tortillas or cornbread.
