In this enjoyable and simple pie, crushed pineapple brightens custard. It was a childhood favorite of my and my family’s when my best friend’s great-aunt Tootie would bake this pie for the family every summer at her house in Iowa.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 jalapeno peppers, diced (Optional)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground thyme
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can red beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground turkey. Cook and stir until the turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the onion, green and red bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Cook and stir until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, sugar, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Continue to cook until fragrant, about 8 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the beef broth, pinto beans, red beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until thickened, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a thinner chili, cover the pot when simmering.

Reviews
My family loved this recipe. The only thing I changed was the broth. (Chicken instead of beef) and I added the paste during the last 5 min of cooking. (That’s how we thicken our spaghetti sauce) This was the best recipe we’ve ever had!
This was delicious. I cut back to one Jalapeno pepper, but otherwise followed the recipe. Served with sour cream and sharp cheddar topping it was perfect.
This was really good. Kinda tasted like spaghetti sauce in a way. Had it over brown rice. Trying to eat more fiber and this was an excellent choice. Followed the recipe exactly and cooked with the lid off. Would definitely make again!
This was delicious!! I wasn’t sure if I should try it, because my husband has made his grandmother’s recipe for years and we have never made any other kind. He actually ate two bowls and was asking if his is as spicy!!. I used a combination of ground turkey and beef, and added a bit more sugar. Then once everything came to a boil, I transferred it to our crock pot on low for about 4 hours. (I made cornbread to eat with it. It was a great combination! ) Thanks so much!!
In regular rotation now. You can modify to your tastes but the seasoning is spot on for us. Sometimes I cheat and use a frozen southwest blend (peppers, black beans, corn) when I don’t have bell peppers… delicious every time! Served with side salad and corn bread.
I’ve made this twice, the first time I thought it was a little to spicy for my taste so the 2nd time I reduced the chili powder to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons and the cumin to 1 tablespoon. Perfect. Will make it again!
This was so good! A couple of changes: left out bell peppers, doubled garlic, used chicken broth because it’s what I had. I also used vodka tomato sauce, because that’s all I had, and I think that put this chili over the roof!
This was a simple and yummy chili! It had so much flavor, my kids did not realize that I use ground turkey instead of other meats. Since my husband does not do well with jalapeños, I left those out. Beyond that, I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out delicious!
My first attempt at chili and this was delicious! I did make some changes to use what I had in the pantry: cannelini beans instead of pinto and a strong serrano pepper instead of the jalapenos. We had seconds. Do make corn bread to have with it! I will make this again.
I made this chili as directed except I did not have a green bell pepper or red kidney beans. I used two cans of pinto beans. My family loved it, even with the jalapeños it wasn’t too spicy. It was very hearty. The one thing I might consider changing is leaving out the sugar. While it was a minimal amount, I could taste the sweetness. Or, I may try brown sugar instead next time.
Didn’t use the hot peppers, but used a little bell pepper. Came out wonderful.
This recipe makes a pretty killer turkey chili. Plenty of room to modify to your taste and spice level. I almost prefer this to a traditional beef chili and it’s a bit healthier. This is my go to chili recipe now,
I swapped out the peppers for celery and instead of jalapenos in the chili, I made jalapeno cornbread. It was the perfect combination 😀 My husband and I loved every bite.
I will make it again. I changed it by using What I had on hand— I had half a large Visalia onion. Some fresh tomatoes instead (none canned on hand)I had no chili powder but I used 1 T of Sirachia Rub, added canned corn, black beans and kidney beans since they were in my pantry. I had a green pepper and to make up for the lack of canned tomatoes I added half a bottle of mild salsa, with the tomato paste and this was absolutely delicious. From reading these reviews it seems like you can’t go wrong with this recipe! I also used garlic salt since I had no fresh garlic. It was still perfect!
Yes, I’ll make it again. It makes multiple servings which is great; have future dinners waiting in the freezer now. I omitted the jalapeno peppers, so it came out just as I wanted.
So easy and so delicious. I didn’t have fresh produce so I omitted the onions and peppers, and I only had half the recommended amount of cumin and it still came out so tasty.
Great flavor! Hard to tell this is even ground turkey. I used the beans I had on hand (black beans and white kidney) and they added some nice color. I also doubled the salt to 2 tsp because it seemed very bland when I first tasted it. I used two full jalapeños with seeds and it had a nice kick of spice to it without being too spicy for me (I would omit the seeds if serving kids or older folks).
Love all the peppers. I used black beans instead of red beans.
It’s simple and great taste, as always I like to add my Latin flavor. so I added a can of corn, large red bell pepper, cilantro, sazón, and doble the jalapeño…
Good recipe, but too much tomatoes. I’d eliminate one of the tomatoes ingredients.
Excellent. Made exactly as instructed, but forgot jalapenos, flavorful and husband loved it, definitely will make again.
