Trader Joe's Turkey Chili with Beans

Returning to our shelves after a brief (but certainly not unnoticed!) hiatus, Trader Joe’s Turkey Chili with Beans is back, brought to us by a new supplier with a new recipe that, dare we say, improves upon the already- estimable original. They start with a base of ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, and red beans, then season it all with diced green chile peppers and jalapeños, onions, and a suite of classic chili seasonings including garlic powder, cumin, and oregano. It all results in a superlatively hearty and satisfying home-style Chili that’s equally excellent as an entrée or topping.

Ready in mere minutes when heated in the microwave or on the stovetop, our Turkey Chili with Beans might be one of the easiest (and most cost-effective) options for a quick weekend lunch that you’ll ever find on our grocery shelves. It can be enjoyed totally on its own, or accessorized with all sorts of condiments and toppings: we’re particularly partial to a nice dollop of Sour Cream, some diced onions or sliced scallions, and, for those with a flair for the fiery, plenty of Chunky Garlic & Jalapeño Hot Sauce. Speaking of toppings, this Chili’s chunky consistency and mix of meaty and tender textures also makes it great for ladling over hot dogs and hamburgers—you can even pair it with a Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Sausage or Ground Turkey patty if you want to keep things poultry-specific.
