The Best Turkey Quinoa Black Bean Chipotle Chili
This best turkey quinoa black bean chipotle chili recipe makes my day complete. Plus, it’s super healthy and filling.
Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey (minced turkey) - turkey breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion - chopped
5 cloves garlic - chopped
2 cup vegetable stock (vegetable broth or vegetable bouillon)
1 can black beans - organic, rinsed
28 ounce tomato
2 cups quinoa - rinsed
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 handful cilantro (coriander) - fresh
1 pinch Sea salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 cup Greek yogurt - Nonfat
Instructions
- In a stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil.
- Add onions and garlic until soft.
- Add turkey to pot and brown. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Add 2 cups vegetable stock and remaining ingredients.
- Simmer slowly until quinoa is cooked and chili has thickened; up to 3 hours. Check for seasonings and adjust to taste.
- To serve: top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and chopped scallions.
Notes
Alternate preparation:
Sauté onion, garlic and turkey in a frypan, and then add it and the rest of the ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 2-4 hours or until thickened and the quinoa is cooked.
Note:
I like my chili more soupy-like. if you prefer it to drier add just 1 cup stock. This chili has a nice kick of heat, if you prefer a milder chili halve or omit the cayenne.
