Mixing up Love and Smoked Turkey Mango Chili Recipe
When I’m short of time, and friends are coming for a casual dinner, this time is perfect to serve Smoked Turkey Mango Chili Recipe!
I experimented with several recipes this fall, but I must say, simple is best for me. If I have more time to plan out a dinner party, I’ll look at making more involved recipes. But if I’m planning a casual last-minute get-together and making chili, I don’t want to have to roast the peppers, be chopping for hours, cooking beans the night before, etc. I want something flavorful NOW.
Smoked Turkey Mango Chili Recipe
That’s why I appreciate being able to open a quick and easy can of beans.
Making chili should not be a daunting task. I played around with my usual recipe, this time adding ground turkey and smoked cumin.
Oh, boy!
Mix up a little love and chili, and you’ll have happy guests!
Oh, and throw a bag of chips on the counter and by adding a handful of crunched chips on top, it’s even tastier. Serve with cilantro, extra cheese, sour cream, and chips and you’re good to go!

Sorry, typed my link incorrectly up there…!
My GOODNESS, that looks good!!! Will most definitely have to try it. Yum!
I love the chili that Wendy’s serves so I found a copycat recipe online and am going to try it this week. Gotta live chili!
Love the idea of Mango in the chilli I can’t wait to try this recipe! YUMMY!!!
This sounds delicious! I love chili this time of year, and it is the easiest dish to prepare for a crowd as well. We cook ours in a crockpot…less mess, even better!
Hi Lauren,
I’m making this today in the crock pot – but am not sure what’s the best way. Do you throw everything in raw, or do you cook the turkey before hand?

Sandy the chili sounds great. I love the sweet/spice combination. Will have to try. I also make my chili vegetarian sometimes using soy crumbles. This recipe would work great with that too.
Thanks.
I would not be ashamed to slam my face right into that bowl.
What a great addition using mango! My go to is cans of beans, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, corn, dry ranch and taco seasoning in the crockpot! Easy and a crowd pleaser. Happy November, Sandy!
Oh Sandy! This looks delicious. I love the idea of using mango salsa. We use that in our fish tacos but I never thought of adding it to chilli. Yum!!!
When I make Chilli, I like to use ground turkey too – along with black beans and/or ranch beans. I addition to the cumin, I also like to add coriander. I just love coriander! It has such a light – almost lemony flavor to it. Sometimes – if I don’t have any ground turkey I”ll make chilli with chunks of leftover chicken. That’s delicious too and it adds a lot of texture to the dish.
It’s finally cold here in central Texas – and your recipe arrived just in time! (Now we just need rain and we’ll be all set!)
Love,
Mary
Love the addition of the mango salsa – I bet it adds another layer of flavour with the sweetness of the fruit. I use ground turkey all the time in my chili as an alternative to beef – it makes for a lighter, more subtle flavour combination I think.
Yum this sounds delicious and so easy! I like easy.
