I firmly believe that this is the only turkey chili recipe you will ever need! I’ve shared several variations of chili over the past couple years, but this cozy bowl of turkey chili is definitely the best so far.

I love prepping a big pot of this on Sunday for quick and satisfying meals throughout the week. Chili is incredibly versatile, so get creative with different types of veggies, protein, legumes and toppings. This version is rich in fiber (so many veggies & beans!), protein and fat. Don’t be intimidated by the long ingredient list — this recipe comes together super quickly!
