This recipe for Spicy Black Bean Turkey Chili is a one pot dish that’s loaded with flavor!

Spicy Black Bean Turkey Chili

Are you feelin’ it? I’m feelin’ it. Pumpkins and cornstalks are popping up everywhere! Fall is in the air. It’s only been one day, ONE DAY,  and I’m already in full fall swing! Soup’s on, and cookies are baking!!

Spicy Black Bean Turkey Chili

During the fall, hearty soups, stews and chili are popular items on the menu at the BHK. This Spicy Black Bean Turkey Chili is one of my husband Tom’s favorites. He has always been a huge chili fan, so I have been working on a healthier version that’ll still get the thumbs up from Mr. Picky, and BINGO this one’s it!! He is usually not one for leftovers, but he’s asked for this chili two nights in a row, so I know it’s a winner.

Spicy Black Bean Turkey Chili

This chili is HUGE on flavor, and you’re going to love how easy it is to make. You just need one large pot, and less than 45 minutes, and dinner is ready! Just serve it with some nice crusty bread and you’re set.

I used some lean ground turkey meat, fresh red and green pepper, onion, black beans, and to give it some kick, a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. I added an extra tablespoon of the adobo sauce, but feel free to add more if you like it spicier. I experimented several times with this recipe to get the spices just right, and I think I nailed it. Don’t leave out the cinnamon. It’s the perfect addition. Enjoy friends, and see you next week back at the BHK.

    I just made the chili. It is wonderful and easy to make. I never used cinnamon in chili before. It has a great flavor. The only problem I have is that I wished I doubled the recipe!!!!!!!!

    The spices, Mary Ann are so perfect. In fact, I don’t think there’s anything better than adding chipotle chilis and adobo sauce in the chili. It gives it that little extra, extra, ya know!? I just made a big pot of chili a few nights ago and I love how easy it freezes, for those week nights when you just wanna take it a little slower. Delicious, my dear!

      I totally agree Traci! My favorite things to pull out of my freezer for a busy week night are either my chili or my Bolognese! Thanks so much for the comment! Hope you have a great week!
