Panera Turkey Chili Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• ½ teaspoon salt

  or more to taste
• 1 cup frozen edamame
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups beef or chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 15 ½ ounces canned chickpeas

  drained and rinsed
• 12 ounces tomato paste
• 1 medium onion

  diced (about 1 cup)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 15 ½ ounces canned kidney beans

  drained and rinsed
• ¾ cup carrot

  diced (1 small)
• ½ cup corn kernels

  fresh or frozen
• 1 jalapeño pepper

  deseeded and finely minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup diced bell peppers
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions

• 1 In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Let it warm
  until you see a shimmer. It only takes a minute or two.
• 2 Add the diced onion and garlic powder. Stir frequently until the onion turns
  translucent. This usually takes about 5 minutes. The scent? Heavenly.
• 3 Next up is the ground turkey. Cook it until it’s browned through, breaking it
  apart with a wooden spoon. The turkey should lose its rosy hue in about 6-8
  minutes.
• 4 Sprinkle in the ground cumin, oregano, cayenne, and smoked paprika. Stir
  thoroughly, letting all the spices embrace the turkey and onions. This step is
  crucial for that depth of flavor.
• 5 Pour in 4 cups of broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze it. This
  enhances the richness of your chili. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
• 6 Now it’s time to add your hard-working veggies. Toss in the 1 cup of edamame, 15
  ½ ounces each of chickpeas and kidney beans, ¾ cup of diced carrots, ½ cup of
  corn, and finally your finely minced jalapeño and peppers.
• 7 Carefully mix in the 12 ounces of tomato paste until everything is well
  combined. This will give your chili that gorgeous, deep red color.
• 8 This is your moment to adjust. I sprinkle a pinch of salt or pepper to taste.
  Don’t be shy—taste as you go!
• 9 Cover the pot and let your chili simmer for at least 30 minutes over low heat.
  This is the time when the flavors meld together, creating comforting magic. Stir
  occasionally to avoid sticking.
