Next add in ground turkey, making sure to break up the lumps; cook until turkey is no longer pink.
Add in tomato sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, chipotle peppers, water, corn, black beans and kidney beans. Add a little salt and pepper.
Bring chili to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring ocassionally. Taste the chili and adjust seasonings as necessary. Makes 8 servings. 1 serving equals about 1 cup. Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro and tortilla chips for serving, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Feel free to use lean ground chicken instead of turkey. You can also switch up the beans however you like (pinto beans instead of kidney, etc).
To make vegetarian: simply swap an extra can or two of beans for the turkey.
To make gluten free: ensure that all products used (example: chipotle peppers) are gluten free. I find most of my gluten free products at Whole Foods.
