How to Make Turkey Black Bean Chili

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound ground turkey, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook, stirring frequently to break up the lumps, for 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Drain off any excess fat.
  5. Add 1 (15-ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, and 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans (rinsed and drained). Stir to combine thoroughly.
  6. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice and remove from heat.
  9. Serve hot, topped with 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
