Ingredients
- 1 large red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 1/2 lb. lean, ground turkey meat
- 1 tbps. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. onion powder
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tbps. cumin
- 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce, no sugar added
- 1 lb. frozen corn, organic sweet corn is best
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, no sugar added
- 1/2 lb. organic corn chips, no sugar added (optional), crushed in to crumbs
- 2 vegetable bouillon cubes (we use the Rapunzel brand)
- Salt to taste
- To make it spice, add 1 jar of your favorite salsa (optional)
Directions
In a large soup pot, warm your olive oil and then sauté the onions and bell pepper.
Stir in the turkey meat and brown. Add everything except the black beans and corn chips crumbs (if using) and cook until the meat is done.
If you wish the chili to have a less chunky texture, simply use an immersion blender to blend it up a bit (as we did in the photo above).
Then stir in your black beans and chips and serve.

Can this be done in the crock pot?
Mandy – It wasn't formulated for a slow cooker, but you could certainly give it a try. I would guess 4-6 hours on low, and don't add the corn chips until you are ready to serve.
Can't wait to try this !!!
Amanda – We hope you enjoy it!
On the stove now!
Cindy, Great! Keep us posted.
It was awesome! All the family liked it, it was good for a gluten, dairy and egg free misdo and we will get some lunches out of it tomorrow! Delicious!
Cindy, GREAT! We're so glad you enjoy…and the family too.
I am making this for the second time. I've done them both in the crockpot, sauteeing the onions, garlic, turkey and peppers first. I also added 2 tsps smoked paprika because the salsa I added was a chipotle salsa. It was fantastic. I add the chips in after using an immersion blender and then let it cook a little while longer to thicken. Thank you!
Jennifer – We're so happy you enjoyed it!
I made this last night, and it came out more like a soup than a chili. I'm not sure where I may have mis-stepped. Any suggestions?Thanks!
Kelly, Try reducing the broth to 3 cups and be sure to drain the beans.
