Ground Turkey and Black Bean Chili
This ground turkey and black bean chili is semi-homemade and easy to make.
This semi-homemade chili is made with a premade chili kit, ground turkey, canned black beans and cut tomatoes.
I like to use a premade chili kit because it’s quick to assemble and tastes homemade.
There’s generally a packet of a chili powder blend, masa (corn) flour and cayenne pepper in the chili kit.
About this Recipe
The masa flour adds a nice flavor and also thickens up the chili.
Although the chili kit has cooking instructions on the back of the box, the recipe below is my spin on it.
It’s convenient to pull frozen chili out of the freezer for dinner.
Then all I have to do is thaw the chili, warm it up on the stove top or microwave.
And wella, a wonderful homemade dinner.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Tomatoes and Black Beans:
In a small oval roaster pan, add canned tomatoes (including the liquid).
With a clean hand, squeeze the tomatoes a little so they’re not in big chunks.
To the pan, add canned black beans (including the liquid) and water.
Seasonings:
The packets inside this Chili Mix include chili powder, masa flour, cayenne pepper and salt.
To the roaster pan, add the chili kit ingredients (chili powder blend, masa flour and cayenne pepper).
Add about half of the package of salt to the roaster pan.
And after the chili is done cooking, do a taste test and add more if needed.
Ground Turkey:
Cooking the Ground Turkey – Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add ground turkey.
Stir as the turkey cooks.
Continue cooking the turkey until it’s thoroughly cooked and browned around the edges of the meat.
To the roaster pan, add the cooked turkey.
Bake in the Oven:
Stir the ingredients together.
Cover the roaster pan with a lid and bake in a preheated (at 350 degrees F.) oven for about 50 minutes.
Or longer for a thicker chili.
Do a taste test and add more salt if needed.
