Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound extra lean ground turkey or chicken (99%)
4 tablespoons chili powder* (I used McCormick chili powder - please read the notes section on this)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Instructions
Place oil in a large pot and place over medium-high heat. Add in onion, garlic, and red pepper and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add in ground turkey and break up the meat; cook until no longer pink. Next add in chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt; stir for about 20 seconds.
Next add in tomatoes, chicken broth, kidney beans, and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until chili thickens and flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings and salt as necessary.
Garnish with anything you'd like. Enjoy! 🖤

Recipe Notes:
Slow cooker: Reduce the chicken broth to 1/2 cup and brown the turkey and onions before adding to the slow cooker. Cook it on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. This is an awesome high-protein alternative for tailgating or football parties!
To increase the protein per serving: Increase the amount of protein you use! (I usually double the amount of meat/protein source).
