Ground Turkey White Chili
Ground Turkey White Chili
White chili is the leaner, milder version of red chili, and it’s a delicious change up to this winter time classic. Our version uses lean but flavorful ground turkey in place of ground beef. You can also use diced chicken thighs, ground chicken, or any other cut of poultry with some fat in it – so, not boneless skinless chicken breasts! This is a fairly mild recipe, but if you’d like to spice up the recipe, you can add diced peppers like jalapeño or hatch to the chili to spice it up. Do you have any modifications to the recipe? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the ratings below!
