Ingredients 

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 lb ground turkey

1 bell pepper or Poblano, diced

1 medium onion, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1-2 finely chopped Serrano or Jalapeño peppers

2 cloves of garlic, diced

2 (14.5-oz) cans petite cut diced tomatoes

1 (15.5-oz) can red kidney beans

1 (15-oz) can pinto beans

1 cup medium/hot salsa

2 Tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

3/4 tsp salt

How to make it 

Heat oil in large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and salt, bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chili begins to thicken, about 1 hour. Serve with the cheese and scallions.
