Turkey Veggie Chili step by step
- Add the lime juice to the stockpot over medium heat, then immediately add the turkey, chicken, all the ground spices, onion, garlic, pepper, and 1/2 the salt. Using a long spatula, break up the meat as it cooks until it is in tiny pieces. Let cook for 10 minutes, or until no pink is visible..
- Add the broccoli, tomatoes, red and green peppers, jalapeño, and corn. Sprinkle the rest of the salt over. This helps pull the liquid from the tomatoes so they cook more evenly. Let simmer for 25 minutes before taking off the heat..
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in 1 3/4 cup of the cilantro, reserving about 1/2 cup for serving..
- Serve in bowls topped with the feta cheese (if you wish) and fresh cilantro. **Important safety tip** Let the batch of chili cool down to lukewarm - up to 90 minutes after cooking - before putting it in the refridgerator. This will keep the inside of your fridge at the proper temperature for safe food storage..
