What Makes This Recipe Unique

This chili combines the lean protein of turkey with the rich, smoky flavor of chorizo for a hearty and satisfying meal. The white beans add creaminess and fiber, making it both nutritious and comforting. It’s perfect for chilly days or when you want something filling without being too heavy.

Pro Cooking Tips

- Brown the turkey and chorizo separately to get the best texture and flavor.
- Use low-sodium broth to control the saltiness in the dish.
- Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 1

Warm some oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground turkey and chorizo, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until it’s starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Next, add the chopped onion, celery, and jalapeno, and keep cooking until the meat is fully browned and the onion has softened, which should take another 5 minutes or so.

Step 2

Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, oregano, thyme, and garlic, stirring everything together to wake up the flavors. Then, add the diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, tomatillos, and green chiles. Pour in the soy sauce, give it all a good stir, and turn the heat down to let it simmer gently. Let it bubble away for 20 to 30 minutes so all the flavors can meld.

Step 3

Right before you’re ready to eat, stir in some fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh touch. Serve it up warm and enjoy!

Serving Style Ideas

Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to add a cool contrast. Fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or shredded cheese make great toppings. Cornbread or warm tortillas also pair nicely to soak up the delicious sauce.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This chili also freezes well—portion it out and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if it seems too thick.
