This hearty Three-Bean Turkey Chili is packed with protein and fiber, spiced to perfection and cooked in diced tomatoes. A delicious comforting meal that’s ready in 10 minutes!!

I know it may seem impossible that you can prepare a delicious chili in about 10 minutes, but I’m here to tell you that it is. Even Mr. Matt challenged me on this one…haha! What’s great about this recipe is that a lot of these ingredients are most likely already in your pantry and you can easily interchange them. Don’t have ground turkey? Use ground chicken or beef, or even ground tofu for a vegetarian option. Don’t have black beans or kidney beans? Use whatever canned beans you have or like. One ingredient, however, that is irreplaceable in this recipe is the refried beans. This is my secret ingredient that makes this chili out of this world. I highly recommend that you don’t skip this ingredient as it adds a nice thick and creamy texture, making it seem like you’ve been cooking it on the stovetop for hours.

Meal Prep & Freeze

Not only is this recipe great for whipping up a quick dinner, it’s also perfect for meal prepping so that you can enjoy it throughout the week for lunch and dinner. It also freezes well, so you can store leftovers and enjoy it at a later time. This recipe is proof that you can cook healthy and amazing recipes quicker than it would take to order and wait for your take out meal to be delivered. I love dipping corn chips in my chili with a dollop of yogurt and green onion for garnish. Next on my recipe goals is to create a cornbread recipe cuz there’s nothing more amazing than chili and cornbread! Am I right? So stay tuned for that recipe coming soon!
