Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup Roasted Hatch Chiles chopped
  • 1 Can 14oz diced tomatoes juices included
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 can 14oz white kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Toppings:

  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Sliced Scallions or Green Onions
  • Chopped Cilantro
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
  • Extra Roasted Hatch Chiles

Instructions

  • Heat the Olive Oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onions, cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. 
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 10 mintues, stirring occasionally, until the turkey meat begins to brown. 
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 

Slow Cooker

  • Transfer the meat, onions, and garlic to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir to combine the ingredients. 
  • Cover the slow cooker, and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. 

Stovetop

  • Add the Hatch Chiles and diced tomatoes with juices to the pot with the meat, onions, and garlic. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Next, add the spices and tomato paste. 
  • Simmer the chili, uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Add an extra 10-15 minutes to really deepen the flavor!)

Serving

  • When cooking is complete, serve the chili in bowls topped with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • The cooking time listed for this recipes is for the stove top version. Plan on 8 hours from start to finish if using the slow cooker.
  • Hatch chiles come in mild, medium or hot. I have made this chili with mild and medium; personally I prefer the medium version. If you have mild on hand but want the chili a bit hotter, you can increase the dried spices, especially chili powder.
