I love serving this stew with quinoa for a tasty plant based dinner that's also gluten free. If you like, a dollop of Greek yogurt: and most definitely a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors!

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.
