A hearty and flavorful chili made with lean turkey and fresh vegetables, perfect for a wholesome meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey.
Break the turkey into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Transfer the turkey and onion mixture to a large pot.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer, leaving excess fat behind.
Add the diced tomatoes, zucchini, black beans, celery, and green bell pepper to the pot.
Chop vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese or fresh cilantro.
Pair with a slice of crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
