Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions to Bring It All Together:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until it’s browned, breaking it up as you go.
Once the turkey is cooked, toss in the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the veggies are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, along with the kidney beans, black beans, chicken broth, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well to combine all those flavors!
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. The longer it simmers, the better the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
Once you’re happy with the flavor, ladle it into bowls, and feel free to top it off with your favorite garnishes like shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced green onions.

This Panera Turkey Chili recipe is perfect for a cozy night in or when you’re entertaining guests. It’s got that comforting vibe that makes everyone feel at home. So gather your ingredients, put on your favorite playlist, and let’s get cooking!
