For a richer flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of crushed tomatoes. Add a diced bell pepper (any color) along with the onion for extra flavor and nutrients. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with a plant-based ground or lentils. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness. Toppings: Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a squeeze of lime juice. Storage: Leftover chili can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
