Turkey White Bean & Kale Chili
Cook time: 40 min
A lean, high-protein one-pot chili with ground turkey, cannellini beans, and kale. Low cal, high fiber, meal-prep friendly.
Ingredients
- 794g Butterball ground turkey 93/7 (1.75 lb)
- 480g cannellini beans, canned, drained and rinsed (~2 cans)
- 150g kale, roughly chopped
- 400g canned diced tomatoes (with liquid, 1 can)
- 113g canned diced green chiles (1 small can)
- 150g yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeño, minced (optional)
- 3 cups bone broth
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium-high. Add turkey and break into crumbles. Cook 6–8 min until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t drain.
- Push turkey to the sides. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the center. Cook 3–4 min until softened and fragrant.
- Add cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Stir everything together and cook 1 min until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes, green chiles, bone broth, and cannellini beans. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer uncovered.
- Simmer uncovered 20–25 min, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavors have melded. Beans will break down slightly — that’s good.
- Stir in kale. Cook 3–5 min until wilted and tender. Taste and adjust salt. Rest 5 min before serving.
