JesseEatzA hearty, high-protein turkey chili that swaps heavy fats for lean protein and fiber-rich beans. Perfect for meal prep and hitting those 55g protein targets.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Don't let the garlic burn, or it will turn bitter.
Add the lean ground turkey to the pot. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until fully browned and no longer pink.
Drain any excess liquid if necessary to keep the flavor concentrated.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, diced tomatoes (with juice), and black beans. Bring the mixture to a light boil.
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or diced jalapeños.
Reduce heat to low and let the chili simmer uncovered to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly thicken.
Simmering longer only makes it better if you have the time!
