In this healthy turkey chili recipe, we skip browning the turkey for two reasons—it helps save time, and the lean turkey stays tender as it gently simmers in the chili. Poblano peppers and chipotles in adobo add a nice spice and smokiness to the dish. Top with your favorite garnishes, like shredded cheese, yogurt, avocado or lime wedges.

Instructions Checklist
  • Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and poblano; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and water, scraping to release any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add turkey, stirring to crumble. Add beans, chipotles and salt; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chiles are tender and the turkey is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Garnish with cheese, yogurt, avocado, cilantro, chips, lime wedges, jalapeños (or serranos) and/or radishes, if desired.
