White Lightning Turkey Chili

White Lightning Turkey Chili made with ground turkey, white beans, and corn. Hearty, spicy and delicious, it’s comfort food in a bowl!

I don’t know what it is about chili but G just can’t seem to get enough of it. A big bowl of the stuff definitely runs high on his list of comfort foods. We always have a steady supply of Staggs in the pantry which he can easily zap in the microwave and slather over Fritos when craving calls. But although canned chili variety is convenient for times when he needs a quick fix, he likes to whip up an easy batch of his 15-min chili or experiment on other recipes he comes across.

I walked in on him in the kitchen this afternoon in the middle of ladling copious amounts of this white lightning turkey chili over bowls of crisp corn chips for our lunch and I have to say, it was the best bowl of chili I’ve had in a long, long while. Hearty, delicious and made healthier with ground turkey (works great with chicken, too!), it definitely hits the spot.
