Healthy turkey and veggie chili

Last updated on January 22nd, 2021

With my head buried in books for the past few weeks I’ve had very little time to emerge to make dinner. On days when I decide crackers aren’t substantial enough for a full meal, I usually heat up Trader Joe’s tomato soup, toss together some semblance of a salad, or bake chicken thighs…OR beg Lucas to figure out dinner because I’ve waited so long that I’m now officially hangry. So, I shamefully admit that this is the first real meal I’ve actually cooked in a few weeks. When Lucas walked in to the smells of various spices wafting through the air last week (yes, I’m behind), he grinned, “it’s been awhile since you cooked!” And OH. MY. GAWD.  What a dish to make a comeback with! Packed with veggies, protein, and rich spices, this homemade turkey and veggie chili makes a perfect pre-wedding meal. And the mere 15 minutes of hands-on time was a definite bonus for my busy study schedule.

I grew up with microwaved canned turkey chili. You know, the kind that kinda looks like dog food coming out of the can, but tastes oh-so-delicious. After a couple of minutes in the microwave, we’d drop a handful of goldfish crackers to swim around in the bowl before digging in. Nom Nom Nom.

This healthy spin on turkey and veggie chili knocks that canned version out of the ballpark, getting even more rich and flavorful as leftovers the next day. Just the right balance of sweetness from the corn, heat from the spices, and freshness from the vegetables. And there no reason to feel guilty after a heaping bowl of this stuff. To fancy it up a little more than the canned chili of my past, I served this chili up with a slice of the most delicious homemade buttermilk cornbread I’ve ever eaten. Seriously, where has this cornbread recipe been hiding all my life? Okay, so maybe it counters the healthiness of the chili, but  at least I made the cornbread a teensy bit healthier by reducing the butter by half. My oh my, this combination is unforgettable.

Shortly after my cooking comeback, Lucas boarded a plane to China to prep for the launch of the iPhone 5. I quickly resorted back to my “eat what’s in the house and takes less than 5 minutes of energy” philosophy (or, as was the case this past few days, “drive up to Chico and eat what’s in Mom’s kitchen”), but at least this time I had crazy good leftovers in the fridge.

Note: Once I pass (fingers crossed) my qualifying exam in November, I plan to spend weeks in the kitchen making up for this dry spell, I promise!

Healthy turkey and veggie chili

Healthy turkey and veggie chili

Yield: 6 servings

(Adapted from The Picky Eater)

Ingredients

  • 1½ teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen sweet corn
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped small
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped small
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1½ teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1½ tablespoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • ½- ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large heavy bottom pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the turkey and cook until browned, stirring to break it up as it cooks.
  3. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic, and cook for a few minutes, stirring, until tender.
  4. Mix in canned tomatoes, beans, corn, cocoa powder, spices, and soy sauce. Add the water and stir to combine.
  5. Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer partially covered for about 30 minutes until the chili thickens. (*Sometimes I simmer with the lid on, sometimes completely off - if you're finding that your chili isn't thickening to your desire, try removing the lid completely)
  6. Serve with freshly baked corn bread (by popular demand, here's a link to my corn bread recipe).

      I actually got this ground turkey at Trader Joe’s (do they have one of those where you are?). Otherwise, you might be able to find it just at the local supermarket if the butchers don’t have it! Goodluck:)

    I love chili and corn bread. It comes from my Texas roots but moving up East made me realize that other parts of the country have their own version. Up East sweet corn bread is eaten and I always had my cornbread minus the sugar. We use pinto beans in our Texas chili and up East it was red beans. Although some Texans think chili minus the beans I say give me the beans. I too would like the corn bread recipe please.

    I just made this chili and it is absolutely delicious! I, unfortunately, forgot to buy fresh garlic cloves, so I ended up having to use a bit extra garlic powder. It still turned out great though! I doubled the recipe and made it for my family. They all loved it!
    I have just a couple questions:
    About how much would you say is 1 serving?
    And do you happen to know the calorie content as well?

    • Sarah Menanix -

      September 29, 2012 at 5:56 pm

      So glad you loved it! I’m sure the extra garlic powder worked just fine. We ate about 2-3 big ladles full of chili each (about a cereal bowl full). I’ll use a calorie calculator to figure that out when I get home and let you know! Thanks again for sharing:)

          Yeah, I try to be a little generous with my serving amounts on my recipes because I’d hate for someone to make it thinking it’d serve 7 or 8, but only serve 6! For us, it made 6 servings (but my marathon-runner fiancé eats a lot these days). That said, the recipe I have up here is about 357 calories per serving if it is split into 6 servings. We loved the leftovers – thought it tasted even better as lunch the next day! So happy to hear that you enjoyed it too:)

          While I’ve still never made it in the crock pot before, other similar recipes online suggest cooking it for 8 hours on low or 6 hours on high. The great thing about slow cookers is that you don’t have to be so precise.

    Thanks!!!

      October 24, 2012 at 6:17 pm

      Hi! So happy to hear you like the flavors. I’m not sure what might have cause it to be a little more watery. Two suggestions: If you let it simmer a little bit longer on the stove, some of the water should reduce, which will thicken the overall consistency. You could also try just reducing the amount of water you add – I don’t think that it would alter the flavors at all. I found that my sauce thickened even more when we reheated it as leftovers – did this happen for you too?

      Thanks for stopping by and sharing!

      I’m not sure if it would work in this recipe, but I know a lot of other chili recipes call for a few tablespoons of flour to thicken it up. Maybe you could try that?

      Hi Sarah – I’m so glad you loved it! Hmm -I’m not sure why your soup never thickened. There are tons of factors that could influence it (temperature, pot material, pot size, etc.). Rather than cutting the water, I recommend that next time you remove the lid for about 15-20 minutes while simmering; I’ve made this recipe more times than I can count on fingers and by now I find myself adjusting things here and there depending on the day. When my friend and I made an enormous batch (three times this recipe), we ended up simmering it with the lid off. Hope this helps!

      While I’ve never made it in the crock pot before, other similar recipes suggest cooking it for 8 hours on low or 6 hours on high. The great thing about the crockpot is there’s no need to be precise!

    How often does trying a random Internet recipe work out? This chili was so delicious! It was a bit watery so I added a sprinkle of corn starch and voila.

      I’m so glad it worked out for you! The corn starch is a great idea! Another thing you can do if it’s a bit watery is to remove the lid and cook it a bit longer just to let some of the moisture evaporate. Thanks so much for coming back and sharing!

    As a gentleman in his mid-twenties who is only just learning how to cook healthy meals for himself, this was an amazing find! It was easy to make and came out spicy and delicious. Thank you for helping me cook like an adult.

    Hi Sarah,

    Not sure if this has already been answered, but could you specify the amount when you say a “can” of kidney/pinto/black beans?

    The chili looks delicious – looking forward to making it!

    Cheers,
    Frances

      Hi Frances! Great question – I’ve updated the recipe (I don’t know how I left that off the first time!). It’s just a standard 15-ounce can of each.

    This sounds delicious and hearty! I don’t have a pot big enough unfortunately. Can this be made in a slow cooker? If so, how would you recommend I cook it?
    Thanks!

      While I’ve still never made it in the crock pot before, other similar recipes online suggest cooking it for 8 hours on low or 6 hours on high. One reader above mentioned making it in the slow cooker and it turned out great!

    I had most of the ingredients but all I had was dried beans. (Pressure cooker for the win there). The flavors were very good and my husband has a full and happy belly.

    Thanks!

      Hi Carrie, Thanks! I do not provide nutritional information, because the ingredients people use can vary so much, but the link below the recipe is to a nutritional calculator where you can copy/paste the ingredients, adjusting to what you use, to calculate! Let me know if you have any trouble! Thanks!

    I have made this chili and it was delicious but I thought it had smoked paprika in it. Was the recipe changed to plain paprika?

      Hi Tammy! So glad to hear it – this is a family favorite. I haven’t change it – I’ve always used regular paprika in it but I bet smoked paprika would be delicious too!

    I found this early recipe last year and this is our go to chili. I can’t wait until the cold weather hits to make this. I think we have eaten more chili in the past two years than my entire life! Even my nieces (picky eaters) loved this and asked if i would make it next time they came to visit. I use chicken stock or a mix of chicken and beef stock and a touch of tomato paste (leave out the soy sauce) to enhance the flavors a little bit.

      I don’t see why not. Though you’d still need to sweat the vegetables and brown the meat so with the time it would take to bring the pressure cooker to pressure, I don’t think you’d save much more than 10 minutes of inactive time from the simmering. If you do use a pressure cooker, I would reduce the liquid since none of it will evaporate in the cooking process.

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift).

So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year.
