A hearty and flavorful chili recipe perfect for any occasion.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Using lean ground turkey reduces the fat content, making this dish healthier.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly chopped for consistent cooking.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor and aroma.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, water, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the black beans to the pot and continue to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the chili from sticking to the pot.
Serve the chili in bowls, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or tortilla chips for added texture.
