This veggie-heavy, one-pot chili is a satisfying choice for a cold day at home or a potluck. It boasts kidney beans, lean turkey, and a variety of fresh vegetables. You can substitute ground chicken for the turkey and use any type of beans that you like. If you end up with a chili that’s too thin for your taste, stir in a teaspoon or two of cornstarch to speed up the thickening process without changing the flavor. To amp up the heat in this chili, add cayenne pepper or freshly diced chili peppers with the seeds. Finish the chili with chopped scallions.
