Season chicken with salt and set aside. Heat a sauté pan on medium and add olive oil. Add chicken and sear until golden brown and turn over. After browning on both sides, remove chicken.

Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

Nothing beats a warm bowl of white bean turkey chili on a chilly night. This hearty, stovetop dish combines ground turkey (not turkey breast, which can turn dry and crumbly), creamy white beans, and a blend of spices for a cozy, one-pot meal you'll want to make time and again. Unlike slow-cooker or shortcut recipes, this version is made in a Dutch oven (or other heavy, large pot) in just over an hour, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
