Turkey, Corn, and Black Bean Chili

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 large can (28 oz) diced or crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
• Chopped green onions
• Fresh cilantro
• Greek yogurt or sour cream
• Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Add ground turkey to pot. Use a wooden spoon to break it into pieces as it cooks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is cooked through, 7-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Add chili powder and stir to combine. Cook for 30 seconds or so until chili powder is fragrant.

5. 5

   Add crushed tomatoes and water to pot and stir to combine. (We recommend eyeballing the 1/2 cup water and adding it right to your tomato can, then swirling it around to make sure you pick up every last piece of tomato before you add it to the chili!)

6. 6

   Add corn and black beans and stir to combine.

7. 7

   Reduce heat to medium and bring chili to a simmer. At this point, you can eat the chili right away, or you can reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for an hour or two until you’re ready for dinner. If you let the chili simmer for awhile, you may need to add another 1/2 cup water or extra tomatoes to prevent it from drying out.

8. 8

   Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

9. 9

   Serve immediately with your favorite garnishes!
