Ingredients
  

1 pound ground turkey

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon lime juice

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado slices

Instructions
 

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    Add minced garlic and ground turkey to the skillet, stirring occasionally until the turkey is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

      In your slow cooker, combine the sautéed turkey mixture with white beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, and chicken broth. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.

        Add diced bell pepper and lime juice to the mixture, stirring again to combine.

          Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the flavors meld and the chili is heated through.

            Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker chili, remove the lid for the last hour of cooking to let some liquid evaporate.

              Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or avocado slices.
