One of my favorite spots to spend some me time is my local Panera Bread restaurant. It’s cozy and {sometimes} quiet, I get a hot cup of tea and big bread bowl of soup and I am one happy lady! Lately I have been hooked on their hearty Turkey Veggie Chili. It is perfect for cold days and fills me right up. I took my girls the other day for lunch and to my surprise they gobbled up a bowl of it too! So I knew I had to recreate this delicious chili at home for dinner. 
To make it even easier I made it in my Crock-Pot!
Panera describes their Veggie Turkey Chili on their menu as “a hearty blend of dark meat turkey…and tender beans, slow cooked with veggies and spices”. I used all the beans and veggies from their ingredient list except I subbed lima beans for edamame. I used a traditional chili spice {with or without cayenne or chipotle for heat} and I was surprised at how similar it was to the original! My kiddos loved it and I was happy they were eating all those good for you veggies and beans! Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup carrot chopped
  • 1 can corn drained
  • 1 can garbanzo beans drained
  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 1 can red kidney beans drained
  • 1 can lima beans drained {or substitute edamame}
  • 1 2 oz can roasted green chilies drained
  • 1 16 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 32 oz box beef broth
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • salt/black pepper to taste
  • olive oil for saute

Instructions

  • Add diced onion to a large skillet with a swirl of olive oil. Cook until softened, about five minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Next, add ground turkey to the skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned. Drain.
  • Add turkey and onion to your Crock-Pot.
  • Pour in all canned veggies and beans {or your can use frozen or fresh too}.
  • I used fresh chopped carrots and canned roasted green chilies too.
  • Finally, add your seasonings. If you like heat add in chipotle or cayenne seasoning.

Notes

This makes a great freezer meal! Let cool completely then place in freezer Ziploc bags and freeze.
