My love for a good chili is a never-ending quest. I absolutely love to experiment and create new chili dishes. I prefer my chili with beans and meat with a kick to it. Most chilis can take hours before they are ready to serve.
Not this Quick and Easy Turkey Chili recipe. No more than 45 minutes from start to finish. If you like your chili with a little kick, just add a few more red pepper flakes (be careful though!).
I like to serve this chili with some shredded Monterey Jack cheese and some crushed tortillas but you can also add some diced green onions for a little extra zing.
My Easy Weeknight Turkey Chili is another favorite of mine to make after a long day at work.
Ingredient Substitution
If you don’t have any Great Northern Beans on hand you can substitute them for an equal amount of Navy Beans or Cannellini Beans.
An alternative to using chicken broth is Better Than Bouillon. I often use it when I don’t have broth on hand.
