    Instructions

    It only takes a few simple steps and a few minutes to make this delicious chili.

    Step 1: Sautee the Vegetables

    Heat a deep cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add olive oil, and once hot add diced onions, poblano peppers, bell pepper, and banana peppers. Saute for 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

    Step 2: Brown the Turkey

    Next, add the Worcestershire sauce and chili powder to the vegetables. Then add ground turkey and cook until browned and no longer pink.

    Step 3: Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Step 4: Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, cut each biscuit into quarters and roll them into balls. Place the biscuit balls around the chili and bake for 15 minutes. Top with cheese, sour cream and green onions. Enjoy.

    Hint: A cast-iron skillet is the best way to go with this recipe because it holds the heat the best and can stand up to oven baking.

    Substitutions

    Don't have the correct ingredients on hand or want to change something up? Here are some helpful tips for you to change this chili and biscuits recipe.

    • Beef or Pork - If you prefer, you can use ground beef, chicken, pork or a blend.
    • Mustard - If you don't have mustard powder, you can add a bit of prepared mustard.
    • Your Favorite Biscuits - I used Pillsbury biscuits, but you can use any variety you like.
    • Poblano Peppers - anaheim chilie peppers are the best substitute but jalapeno, ancho chiles or cayenne peppers will work in a pinch
    • Banana Peppers - yellow bell pepper if you prefer sweet or if hungarian wax pepper if you prefer heat
    • Extra virgin olive oil - Regular olive or another vegetable oil will work and work well
    • Fireroasted tomatoes - use regular canned diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes

    Variations

    Want to personalize this one-pot turkey chili and biscuits recipe? Here are some of my tried and true tips for changing up this recipe.

    • Extra Spicy - Add extra hot peppers for even more spiciness.
    • Beans - Add white kidney beans, navy, pinto, fava or garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

    Equipment

    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Knife
    • Cutting board

    Storage

    This chili will last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.

    Tips

    This is an incredibly easy recipe to make, but I do have a couple of tips to help you make it the best it can possibly be.

    • If possible, use a cast-iron skillet for the most even cooking.
    • It's best to shred your own cheese if possible. Pre-packaged shredded cheese is full of additives.
