Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground turkey
3 cups white onion diced, about a one-pound large onion
2-3 seeded and diced jalapenos, based on your heat tolerance
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1 19-ounce can cannellini beans with their liquid (if your can is smaller or larger than the one called for here, it will not affect the finished chili)
1 cup turkey stock
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 7-ounce can mild diced green chilies
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dry oregano
4 ounces corn chips, plus more for garnish (We chose a brand that had a hint of lime flavor)
1 cup sour cream
For Garnish:
A dash or two of hot sauce, if you like a spicier chili
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded for garnish
Fresh cut limes, for garnish
Instructions
- Brown ground turkey in a large wide skillet in the olive oil. Once cooked, pour into slow cooker.
- Add the onions, jalapenos, garlic, cannellini beans with their liquid, turkey stock, corn kernels, green chilies, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, chili powder and oregano.
- Cover and set slow cooker to high and cook three hours.
- While chili is cooking, place the four ounces of corn chips into a small food processor and process to a fine crumb or powder. You will end up with about one cup of the ground corn chips.
- After three hours of cooking, stir in the corn chip powder, cover and cook for ten more minutes.
- Add sour cream and taste. Adjust seasonings or add hot sauce to your liking.
- Serve with shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, cut limes, additional chopped cilantro and corn chips on the side.
Notes
Note: This chili is on the mild side so feel free to kick it up with another jalapeno, more spices, or a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce.
