Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for white beans, but you can also use other types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, or pinto beans.
  • Add some heat: If you like your chili spicy, add a chopped jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When browning the ground turkey, do it in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will help the meat to brown evenly.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for turkey and white bean chili include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
