We call it this a white chili because there's very little tomato in it, but the addition of cumin, beer, tons of beans and a topper of creamy avocado keeps it just as satisfying as a traditional red chili.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
3 to 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (all lean or a mix, whatever you prefer)
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can small white beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4-ounce) can fire-roasted green chiles
1 (12-ounce) bottle light beer, such as lager or ale
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro, to garnish
Ripe avocado, chopped, to garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large pot over medium heat with the oil. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and then add the turkey, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, cumin and chili powder to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the chili, stirring occasionally, until the liquids have thickened and the chili is very aromatic, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the chili garnished with chopped cilantro and avocado.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm always looking for new chili recipes and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The white chili was creamy and flavorful and the turkey made it a nice lean protein.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra chili powder and cumin to give it more flavor.

I've made this chili several times and it's always a winner. I usually add a can of black beans or pinto beans for extra protein and fiber.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit with the whole family. Even my picky 7-year-old ate two bowls!

★★★★★ I'm a huge fan of chili and this recipe really hit the spot. The white chili was a nice change from the traditional red chili and I loved the addition of the turkey and poblano peppers.

Great winter warmer! This chili was creamy, flavorful and the sweetness of the corn balanced out the spice. Served it with cornbread and sour cream ??
