Name: Hearty Ground Turkey Chili
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey; 30 oz. (2 cans) pinto beans (drain 1 can); 15 oz. finely chopped tomato; 1 tsp. salt; 2 tsp. cumin; 2 tsp. chili powder; 1/4 tsp. paprika; 1/4 tsp. oregano; 1/4 tsp. black pepper; 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese; 4 Tbsp. chopped scallions

There’s something magical about a pot of chili bubbling away on the stove. The way the spices perfume the kitchen, the way the simmer makes time slow down a little – it’s comfort food theater at its finest. This ground turkey chili leans into all the classics: smoky spices, tender beans, bright tomatoes and just enough kick to keep things interesting. But instead of the usual beef, this version goes lighter with ground turkey, making it a little leaner without losing that stick-to-your-ribs, protein-packed heartiness.
