Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, jalapeños (or green chiles), corn, and chicken stock (or water). Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more stock or water if the chili becomes too thick.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

For a spicier chili, increase the amount of jalapeños or add a dash of hot sauce.
This chili can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Serve with toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped green onions if desired.
