Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3–4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (yellow, red, or green), coarsely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 24 ounces store-bought salsa verde
- 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño until tender and fragrant.
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, and salt to the pot. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom and mingle.
- Return the cooked turkey to the pot, add the bay leaf, salsa verde, diced green chiles, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 45 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Stir in the drained white beans and let the chili simmer for another 20 minutes, thickening up and melding together beautifully.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, red onions, a sprinkle of cheese, creamy avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with lime wedges for a zesty touch!
