Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
• 1 4-ounce can green chilies, diced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground turkey sausage to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.

Step 6

Add the drained and rinsed white beans, diced green chilies, cooked turkey sausage, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the chili is warmed through and slightly thickened.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro and shredded cheese before serving.
