The temps will most likely be getting cooler wherever you are, and if you’re like me, you’ve going to start getting a hankering for cozy, warming soups and chilis. This turkey ranch chili is going to warm you from head to toe.
I’ve been making this for years and it’s one of our favorites.
Like I mentioned before, there are no secret ingredients or wacky extra steps, which is one of the reasons this is such a great recipe.
The little bit of kick from the Rotel and the flavor of the fire roasted tomatoes adds a whole level of flavor that makes this chili spot on delicious!
You could certainly swap out the turkey for ground beef or chicken if you’d like.
While it’s good on it’s own, promise me you won’t skimp on the toppings! The sour cream, cheese and Fritos are a must!
What kind of beans are best to use?
This is one of those recipes where I’m not going lecture you (aren’t you glad?). You know why? Because chili is super adaptable and will be delicious what whatever kind of beans you use? The recipe calls for pinto, kidney and black, but it’s easy enough to swap out any of those for your favorites. You also could use two cans of the same kind if you have a strong love for one kind of bean. Catch my drift here?
