Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ pounds ground turkey (lean or extra lean)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small zucchini, diced (optional for thickness)

  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (no added sugar)

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • ½ teaspoon oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings:
Fresh cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, or sliced avocado

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.

  • Add diced onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.

  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let the spices cook for 30 seconds.

  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, and zucchini (if using). Stir well.

  • Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

  • Serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream, cheese, or avocado.

Notes

  • The chili thickens as it simmers. Add a little broth if it gets too thick.

  • You can use ground beef or chicken instead of turkey.

  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.

  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

  • For a creamier version, stir in a few tablespoons of cream cheese before serving
