Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Bring the chicken broth and 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the farro, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- While farro cooks, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté minced onion, garlic, and jalapeños for 1-2 minutes to soften and release fragrance.
- Add ground turkey to the pan and cook until browned and crumbly. Stir in black beans, ancho chili powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and salsa. Simmer a few minutes.
- Add crushed fire-roasted tomatoes and remaining 2 cups of water as needed to adjust consistency. Simmer while farro finishes cooking.
- Stir cooked farro into the chili pot. Serve topped with sour cream, cheese, green onions, and tortilla chips.
Notes
This chili tastes even better after resting for a few hours or overnight. For a vegetarian option, substitute turkey with extra beans and use vegetable broth.
