Healthy and delicious turkey chili recipe
I think chili is a typical fall food. It’s warm, full, delicious, and comes to images of football games, neighborhood chefs or Halloween dinners. Over the years, we have done a lot and tried dozens of versions. I knew it was time to revisit my turkey chili recipe and upgrade.
I wish it was as rich and delicious as a nice classic chili…but with all the benefits of Turkey. After some trial and error, I finally found the perfect turkey chili recipe. Satisfied delicious, especially when we piled up each bowl with diced avocado and chopped cheese.

Tips and suggestions
What is the secret to a really good chili?
The secret to a good chili is the right combination of spices and cook long enough to develop the flavor and make it have a good density. Adding the sour (vinegar or lemon juice) to the end will enhance the taste and be delicious. And I can’t stress the importance of providing many quality toppings! ! Here are some of our favorites:
- Chopped cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Queso mural)
- Thin sliced jalapeno peppers
- Dice avocado
- Thin sliced green onions
- Thin sliced radish
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Broken corn flakes
- Dice tomatoes
Should I serve with Turkish Chili?
I love serving chili with my favorite cornbread, croissant rolls, sweet potato cookies or sometimes even these mini cinnamon rolls!
