Turkey Chili

Turkey chili is a variation of the traditional chili con carne, a spicy stew-like dish originating from the Southwestern United States and Mexico. Instead of using ground beef, turkey chili is made with ground turkey, which is typically leaner and lower in fat compared to beef. The dish usually includes ingredients such as beans (often kidney or pinto), tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and a blend of chili spices like cumin, paprika, and chili powder. The translation of "turkey chili" to Hebrew is צ'ילי טורקיה (chili turkiya). In Spanish, it is known as chili con pavo, while in French, it is referred to as chili à la dinde. Turkey chili is often considered a healthier alternative to traditional beef chili, as it reduces saturated fat content while maintaining a rich, flavorful profile. It is commonly served as a main course, often accompanied by toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
