Instructions
In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter on medium-high heat. add onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic. Stir occasionally until onions begin to be translucent and garlic is fragrant (about 3 minutes).
Add the ground turkey and all spices (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper) to the pot. Use a large spoon to break up the ground turkey and mix the spices in. Cook until turkey is no longer pink and begins to brown (about 5-8 minutes).
Add the diced tomatoes along with the juice. In a bowl, mix together the tomato paste and chicken broth. Add this mixture to the pot along with the corn, kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Stir everything together.
Bring to a low boil then reduce heat to a low simmer and cover for at least 30 minutes. The longer you wait, the more the flavors will meld together, just be sure to stir every once in a while. Serve in a bowl and top with your favorite toppings (see notes for ideas).
Notes
This chili reheats great. It will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish or on the stove top in a pot.
Topping ideas include shredded cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, corn chips, or tortilla chips.
I love using frozen fire-roasted corn from Trader Joe's. It is more flavorful than your average frozen corn and tastes like it has been grilled.
