Turkey Corn Chili

Let me start by saying, I am and always will be a ground beef over ground turkey type of person. Especially when it comes to my chili. However, a few of you have asked for more poultry based recipes so I am trying to help those of you out with a flavorful lunch/dinner option. I want to also note - by no means am I using ground turkey in this recipe for “diet culture purposes”. I hate that for so long diet culture scared people away from ground beef and looking to replace it with ground turkey in every possible way. Now that we’ve made all of that clear, this recipe still slaps. It is loaded with flavor, super easy to make, and the perfect dish to double up on when cooking so you can freeze the leftovers for future meals (you know how much I love my freezer). If chili is your thing (like mine) and you want some more FF chili recipes, check out my classic beef chili and, my new favorite, my shredded chicken sweet potato chili. I promise neither of these disappoint! Also, if you’re a visual learner, be sure to watch the FF Do That Ish IGTV episode where I’m making this chili so you can cook alongside me!
