Recipe View 20 mins If using turkey, add the cooked ground turkey back to the chili. Bring the chili to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, cover, and cook for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally.

For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey and add a diced sweet potato along with the carrots for added heartiness and sweetness.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt adds a cooling touch. A squeeze of lime juice brightens the flavors before serving.
This chili tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a smoky flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices.
