Description
When the weather cools down, nothing beats a hearty and comforting bowl of chili. This Four Bean Turkey Chili is a lighter, healthier option, using ground turkey breast instead of beef. The result is a flavorful, protein-packed meal that’s just as satisfying.
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chili powder

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a deep pot. Add the ground turkey. Season with chili powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Break apart the meat as it’s cooking.
