How to Make Gringo Chili

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spoon, until the turkey is browned and the onion is softened (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), black beans, kidney beans, chicken broth, green bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and lime juice.
  4. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened slightly.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
