Ultimate Turkey Chili

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

My favorite ultimate turkey chili recipe has a little bit of spice, a hearty amount of beans, and is packed with corn and tomatoes.BOwl of ultimate turkey chili with toppings

I make a lot of chili over the winter. The ingredients are always in my pantry or fridge for those I don’t really want to cook but I want to eat something that tastes really food days.

Ultimate turkey chili to share

This recipe has been my go-to for the past few years and has gotten us through many snow days, football games, and busy days when I know cooking is not going to be an option.

One of my favorite things about chili is choosing the toppings. Some of my favorites: cheese (duh), sour cream, scallions, cilantro, and Fritos!

    Isn’t the garlic supposed to be cooked along with the onion and turkey?

      Hi Teresa! I typically add the raw garlic to the slow cooker because it cooks and softens during the 6 hour cooking time. If you add the garlic to the hot pan at the same time as the onion and turkey, it will likely burn and get bitter. You can certainly add it for the last minute of sauteeing the onions and meat if you’d prefer, just be sure to stir constantly so it doesn’t get charred. This would be ideal if you’re cooking the chili on the stovetop. Enjoy!
