INTRODUCTION

This turkey chili is easy and full of flavor. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a warming winter dish.

This healthy turkey chili is made with lean ground turkey, kidney beans, garlic, veggies, and full of chili flavor. This version is simply delicious and perfectly spiced! You make it on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
