Instructions
1
Brown Meat and Veggies
Start by heating some oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and chorizo, breaking it up as it cooks, until it’s starting to brown—this should take about 5 minutes. Toss in the chopped onion, celery, and jalapeno, and keep cooking everything together until the meat is fully browned and the onion is soft and translucent, which will take another 5 minutes or so.

Add spices and simmer
Next, sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, oregano, thyme, and garlic, stirring everything to let those flavors wake up. Pour in the tomatoes, cannellini beans, tomatillos, and green chiles, then add a splash of soy sauce for a little extra depth. Turn the heat down to low and let the chili simmer gently for about 20 to 30 minutes so all the flavors can meld. Just before serving, stir in some fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh finish.
