• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

½ cup chopped onions

1 small yellow or red bell pepper (-chopped)

1 clove garlic (-minced)

5 ounces ground turkey

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (with their juices)

¼ cup canned black beans (-rinsed and drained)

For topping: cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, or cilantro. (optional)

Directions

Start with the Vegetables: In a medium-sized skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers, cooking them while stirring now and then for about 2 minutes.

Add Garlic: Mix in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute.

Cook Turkey: Put the ground turkey into the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and stir occasionally. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, which should take around 8 minutes.

Season the Mix: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together for roughly 10 seconds.

Include Tomatoes and Beans: Now, add the tomatoes and black beans to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Final Touches: Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings and salt if needed. Serve with your choice of garnishes like Parmesan cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, or cilantro.
