    Healthy Turkey Chili (Stovetop Recipe!)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Nothing says Fall is in the air quite like a hearty chili! I honestly eat this healthy turkey chili  recipe year 'round because it's so easy to throw on the stove, it's ready in about 45 minutes, and it's so delicious.  I almost always have pretty much everything to make this in my pantry or freezer.

    What's in this chili?

    • lean ground turkey
    • bone broth (could sub chicken broth)
    • canned diced tomatoes --> not a must but if you see 'fire roasted tomatoes' they add an extra great flavor
    • kidney beans
    • tomato paste --> I always keep a tube of tomato paste in the fridge as to not only need a small amount from a can
    • yellow onion
    • garlic
    • green bell pepper
    • spices (cumin and chili powder)
    • apple cider vinegar
    • vegetables! these are totally up to you and based on what you have on hand.

    You could use a frozen vegetable 'blend' something like corn, carrots, green beans... any fresh vegetables such as spinach or kale... or just adding a can of corn is great!

    Where do I find bone broth?

    I either make it, buy it locally, or order from Kettle & Fire . They use quality natural ingredients that are a whole food based source of collagen.

    Is turkey chili healthy?

    *Refraining from saying abso-tootley* but... yes! Chili is full of protein, tons of fiber ( HELLO BEANS), and anti-oxidants from added vegetables.

    You don't have to just use ground turkey, you could sub ground beef (highly recommend using grass-fed beef) or even a blend of ground turkey and ground beef.
