Ground Turkey and Black Bean Chili
A super easy, hearty and delicious semi-homemade chili.
This semi-homemade chili recipe is made with Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit, plus additional ingredients that I add to the mix including ground turkey.
I really like using Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit because the it’s so easy to make with the prepackaged ingredients inside of the box.
There’s a packet of a chili powder blend, masa (corn) flour and cayenne pepper.
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.
Should there be any leftovers, the prepared chili can be put in portion-size containers and stored in the freezer.
I do this all the time and it works great. When I don’t have time to cook, all I have to do is thaw the chili, warm it up on the stove top or microwave and wella…a wonderful homemade dinner.

Let’s check out the ingredients.
Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit (chili powder blend, masa flour and cayenne pepper), ground turkey, canned black beans, diced or cut tomatoes, salt and water
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Here’s how to make it.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
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.
Here are the packets inside of the Carroll Shelby’s Chili Mix (chili powder blend, masa flour, cayenne pepper and salt*).
*Update 5/13/2019 – the salt packet doesn’t appear to be included in the Carroll Shelby’s Chili Mix Box anymore.
Add the Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit ingredients (chili powder blend, masa flour and cayenne pepper).
If a packet of salt is included in the Kit, add about half of it to the roaster pan, then after the chili is done cooking, do a taste test and add more if needed.
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 browns around the edges of the meat and is thoroughly cooked.
To the roaster pan, add the cooked turkey.
Stir the ingredients together.
Cover the roaster pan with a lid and bake in a preheated oven for 50 minutes.
If a thicker chili is preferred, let it cook a little bit longer.
Do a taste test and add more salt if needed.
Serve warm and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, onions, and sliced avocado.
