Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 oz kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen edamame
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and carrot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Can use an Instant Pot - set to saute.
  2. Add ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  3. Mix in tomato paste and cook for another minute. Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chickpeas, edamame, corn, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the chili thickens. Or if you are using an Instant Pot - set to slow cook on high for a few hours.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings.
