This creamy yet light “white” chili feels less dense and more stew-like than the common “red” con carne version containing tomatoes. A shaggy cornmeal crumble caps things off, as does a pillowy dollop of sour cream.

White Bean and Turkey Chili with Cornbread Crumble
Ingredients
For the Chili
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 lb boneless, skinless turkey breast cut into small cubes
- 1 - 19 oz can white kidney or navy beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock gluten free if desired
- 2 cups kale de-stemmed, shredded, and packed
- 1 Tbsp adobo sauce gluten free if desired
- 2 Tbsp lime juice plus more to serve
- 1/3 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- For chili, in large high-sided ovenproof saucepan or large cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, coriander, and cinnamon. Sauté for 10 minutes. Add turkey and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in beans, stock, kale, adobo sauce, and lime juice. Cook until kale is wilted. Smooth mixture into single, even layer in saucepan or skillet.
- For crumble, in large bowl, mix cornmeal, oats, baking powder, and salt. In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and continue to cook until nutty in fragrance and light brown. Immediately pour into cornmeal mixture, including brown bits, and whisk in water. Let rest for 5 minutes. Scatter wet crumble mixture evenly yet rustically over top of chili.
- Bake chili for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbling on the outside and crumble is brown in bits. Serve hot with dollops of sour cream and additional lime juice.
