Easy One-Pot Quinoa Turkey Chili Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground turkey
    1 medium red onion, diced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon cumin
    2 teaspoons paprika
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons oregano
    1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
    4 cups water
    1 (28 oz) can of crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
    1 cup quinoa, rinsed
    1 (15.5 oz) can black beans (no salt added, rinsed)

Directions

  1. Assemble your spice mix by combining all spices in a small ramekin or bowl. Set aside.
  2. Drizzle olive oil into a large pot and preheat on medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add ground turkey and 1 tablespoon of spice mix to onions. Cook until meat is 90 percent done (fully browned on the outside with a little pink on the inside).
  5. Transfer turkey and onion mixture to a separate bowl.
  6. In the same pot that you cooked the turkey in, pour in all 4 cups of water and the entire can of crushed tomatoes. Add in rinsed quinoa and the remainder of your spice mix. Stir to incorporate.
  7. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce to simmer for 9 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. After 9 minutes, add one can of rinsed beans, one can (the one the beans came in) of water, and the turkey and onion mixture that you set aside earlier to the quinoa/tomato mix.
  9. Cover again and simmer on low for 5-10 more minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the turkey is thoroughly cooked through.
  10. Serve with chives, sour cream, shredded cheese, or the toppings of your choice.
