Instructions

Prep 15 min · Cook 25 min

Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the pan. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, letting it sit briefly between stirs so it develops some brown color. Cook until no longer pink. Done when internal temperature is 165°F.
Stir in the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. Add the black beans, crushed tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer with the lid partly on for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If the mixture gets too thick or dry, stir in the water a little at a time. It is done when a spoon dragged across the bottom leaves a trail that closes slowly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and add a tiny pinch more salt if needed. Ladle the chili into a bowl and garnish with the sliced green onions.
