Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up. Cook for 7–10 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease.

  5. Add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In the last 10 minutes of simmering, add frozen corn and stir.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle the Turkey Pumpkin White Bean Chili into bowls. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, and cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • This chili can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It tastes even better the next day.
  • For longer storage, freeze the chili in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • To reheat, gently warm on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of broth if needed to adjust consistency.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the ground turkey and use vegetable broth.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
