Turkey Chili Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Start the chili base

   • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. 2

   Cook the turkey

   • Add the ground turkey to the pot.
   • Break it up with a spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Drain any excess fat if necessary, though 99% lean turkey should have very little.
3. 3

   Simmer the chili

   • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, 0.75 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
   • Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, the rinsed kidney beans, and 0.5 cup of water.
