Ingredients
– 1 lb ground turkey lean protein source providing a lighter alternative to beef
– 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans adds fiber and texture
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes for a rich tomato base and acidity
– 1 medium onion, diced enhances flavor depth
– 2 cloves garlic, minced adds aromatic pungency
– 1 bell pepper, chopped provides sweetness and color
– 2 tbsp chili powder key seasoning for classic chili flavor
– 1 tsp cumin adds earthy warmth

Instructions
1-First, prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, chopping the bell pepper, and mincing the garlic to streamline cooking.
2-Next, in a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
3-After that, remove the turkey and set it aside, then in the same pot, sautΓ© the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
