Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 5 tomatillos
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 medium carrot diced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 15 oz chick peas or garbanzo beans
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 15 oz dark red kidney beans
  • 4 oz diced green chilies
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro
  • 1/2 lime

Instructions
 

  • Turn broiler on high, then line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Remove the husks and stems from the tomatillos and wash them thoroughly (they're sticky!)  Cut them in half and place them cut side down on the foil, then char under the broiler until darkened, roughly 15-20 minutes. (or 12 minutes in the air fryer.) 
    5 tomatillos
  • Remove tray from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Place tomatillos in a blender and puree for 30 seconds. Set aside. 
  • Preheat Dutch oven or a large pot on medium heat on stove top.
  • Add oil, turkey, onion, carrot and garlic and cook 15 minutes chopping and stirring often.
    1 lb ground turkey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 medium onion, 1 medium carrot, 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • Add roasted tomatillo puree, 1/2 can of chick peas, 1/2 can kidney beans, chicken broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, green chiles, edamame, corn, salt, chili powder, cumin, onion powder and molasses and mix together.
    32 oz chicken broth, 15 oz chick peas, 28 oz diced tomatoes, 6 oz tomato paste, 15 oz dark red kidney beans, 4 oz diced green chilies, 1/2 cup shelled edamame, 1 cup corn, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ancho chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tbsp molasses
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 20 minutes.
  • Take remaining beans, remaining chick peas, corn starch, 1/2 cup liquid from chili and place in blender and pulse into a thick paste. This helps thicken the chili so it's just like Panera's version!
