Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can this be prepped early?
Sure, make it ahead and reheat later. Let it rest in the fridge overnight for even better flavor. Just cook fresh eggs to serve.
→ What can I substitute for turkey sausage?
Try pre-cooked turkey sausage pieces or crumbled patties. If you'd like, make your own sausage using ground chicken.
→ How should I serve it?
Spoon over crispy hash browns with fried eggs, or cook eggs right in the chili. Add extras like cheese, avocado, or pico de gallo. Want something unique? Serve with cinnamon rolls!
→ Can I make it less spicy?
Totally, use bell peppers for sweetness or poblanos if mild heat is okay. More spice? Turn it up with chili seasoning or a zesty pepper variety.
→ How long can I store this?
The chili stays fresh for 4-5 days in the fridge if sealed tight. Just make fresh eggs and toppings when you're ready!

Ingredients

01 4 slices of bacon, center cut.
02 1 poblano or bell pepper, chopped finely.
03 1 white onion, diced into small pieces.
04 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced.
05 1 pound of raw turkey breakfast sausage.

07 A 28 oz can of crushed fire-roasted tomatoes.
08 3 to 4 cups beef broth, depending on how thick you like it.

Instructions

Step 01

Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium and toss in the bacon. Once it's crispy, take it out and lay it on some paper towels.

Step 02

Using the leftover bacon grease, stir in the onion and pepper. Let them soften for about 2-3 minutes, then add garlic. After 30-60 seconds, toss in the turkey sausage.

Step 03

Break apart the sausage as it cooks and make sure it's fully browned all the way through.

Step 04

Add everything that's left into the pot. Chop the cooked bacon and toss that in, too. Let it come up to a boil, then turn it down and cover. Let it gently simmer for 45 minutes to an hour before enjoying.

Notes

  1. Serve with fried eggs, hash browns, or bake it with eggs on top.
  2. Put on extras like avocado, salsa, cheese, sour cream or yogurt, or tortilla chips.
  3. Swap in ground chicken or cooked sausage crumbles if that's what you have.
