This chili hits all the savory and delicious marks by combining ground turkey and cannellini beans with tomatillos, lime, cilantro, and green chilies. The latter ingredients come together in the food processor or blender, almost like a salsa verde, and flavor the meat and vegetables and beans. This chili does take time to cook, but most of that time is hands-off, while it simmers on the stove top. It gives you almost an hour to do other things. Maybe you want to make a salad, set up some sliced vegetables and dip, or even clean up the kitchen after prepping the ingredients for this recipe. The kitchen will be sparkling clean in plenty of time to tuck into a bowl of this deliciousness.
