Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey (93/7 lean)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned (about 5-6 minutes).
  3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens.
  4. Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper over the meat mixture. Stir and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  5. Pour in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juices) and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Add the drained black beans, kidney beans, and corn. Stir to combine.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove the pot from heat. Squeeze in the lime juice and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

The soup thickens as it sits. For a thicker soup, mash some beans against the side of the pot before adding broth. This soup freezes well for up to 3 months. Add fresh lime juice after reheating to brighten flavors.
