Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey and onion in the hot skillet until turkey is browned and crumbly and onion is transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step 2

Transfer turkey mixture to a large stockpot. Stir in tomatoes, chili beans, green chiles, 1/2 cup water, sugar, chili powder, cumin, and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring 1 1/3 cups water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

Step 4

Add cooked rice to the stockpot, cover, and cook until rice is hot, about 15 minutes.
