Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, season with salt, and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Transfer turkey to a bowl.
In the same pot, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño until tender and starting to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Add in the spices—cumin, coriander, oregano, and salt—and cook for 30 seconds until their fragrant aroma fills the kitchen.
Return the cooked turkey to the pot. Add the bay leaf, salsa verde, green chiles, and broth. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let it bubble away for 45 minutes.
Stir in the drained white beans and allow the chili to simmer for another 20 minutes.
Serve your chili in warm bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, chopped red onions or scallions, a handful of cheese, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy with lime wedges!
