How to Make Easy Turkey Chili

This may be the world's easiest one-pot chili, and like any good chili, it's very versatile. You can eat it on it's own, serve it atop a baked sweet potato, or spread some across whole grain tortilla chips with a sprinkle of cheese, shredded lettuce, and guacamole for a healthy take on nachos. If you want to bulk up the recipe and pack in fiber, add some cooked beans or a cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, or whatever you might have in the pantry all work great). And feel free to experiment with hot sauce, additional spices, or chopped peppers to make it your own!

Wrong steps

FYI: The third and first steps should be swapped. They're out of order.

I loved this. Cooked it in the slow cooker and added a can of kidney beans. Served over brown rice.

Super easy. Modified it by adding a can of Fire roasted rotel, black beans and extra chili powder and added Tajin. Served over spaghetti squash and it was delicious.

This was super easy and adaptable. I added a can to fire roasted tomatoes and green chiles, upped the seasoning by doubling the chili powder and added Tajin. Also added.a cup of black beans. Served it over spaghetti squash and it was delicious. Definitely will make again and further play with the spices.
