Start with the Vegetables: In a medium-sized skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers, cooking them while stirring now and then for about 2 minutes.
Add Garlic: Mix in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute.
Cook Turkey: Put the ground turkey into the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and stir occasionally. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, which should take around 8 minutes.
Season the Mix: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together for roughly 10 seconds.
Include Tomatoes and Beans: Now, add the tomatoes and black beans to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Final Touches: Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings and salt if needed. Serve with your choice of garnishes like Parmesan cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, or cilantro.
Notes
Choose a heavy pot: This ensures even heat distribution for the best results.
Taste and adjust: Add more salt, pepper, or spices to match your preferences.
Garnish with cilantro: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a bright, flavorful touch.
