    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Step 3

    Add the ground turkey or beef to the pot, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

    Step 4

    Once the meat is cooked, stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat with the spices.

    Step 5

    Add the canned kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.

    Step 6

    Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it cook for at least 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Step 7

    Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you prefer a thicker chili, remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
