Three Bean Turkey Chili

It’s warming up fast here in Phoenix. Way too fast for my liking. I’m going to continue to be in denial about this and keep making a hearty chili just like this Three Bean Turkey Chili! Plus, I know for many of you in other places, it’s still freezing! So chili it is today! I love a good hearty chili packed with beans and veggies. A big bowl of warm chili is so comforting and filling! I’ve been making some version of this chili for many years now. It’s super simple to put together and is pretty inexpensive, but makes a huge pot that lasts for days!
To help me make this chili, my good friends at OXO sent me a few fun tools to try out! They sent me their Ground Meat Chopper and Turner, Silicone Ladle, and the Vegetable Chopper with Easy-Pour Opening. I never would have expected to love the meat chopper as much as I did. I figured it might be one of those tools that seems cool, but is not that useful, but I was pleasantly surprised how much faster I was able to chop up the ground turkey compared to the spatulas I typically use. It’s sturdier and made it a lot easier and I will definitely be using it again and again! The vegetable chopper was great for chopping the onion and pepper in just a few minutes. A good ladle is a must in every kitchen and I love the silicone and non-stick material that the OXO ladle is made from!
This is truly one of my most favorite chili recipes. It’s also easy to customize if you want to change things up too. Want to keep it vegetarian? Leave out the turkey and use veggie broth. You can add more or less of your favorite spices too. And of course, what’s a bowl of chili without the awesome toppings?! Lots of possibilities!
