White Turkey Chili

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 
2 pounds ground turkey breast (I use about 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey)
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped 
1 medium yellow onion, chopped 
1 teaspoon ground coriander 
2 tablespoons ground cumin 
1 teaspoon dried oregano 
Salt to taste 
1 bay leaf 
1 (28-ounce) can tomatillos, drained and chopped (I used about 4 cups diced and fresh)
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained 
1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely sliced (I omit)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 
3 cups cooked Great Northern beans, drained 
Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional) 
Grated Monterey Jack cheese, for garnish (optional) 
Sour cream, for garnish (optional)

Method

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add turkey and cook, stirring often, until browned. Transfer to a bowl and return pot to heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bell pepper and onion and cook until softened and golden brown. Return turkey to pot and add coriander, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir well to combine. Add bay leaf, tomatillos, chiles, jalapeños and broth, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes. Gently stir in beans and cook for 30 minutes more. Stir in cilantro, ladle chili into bowls and garnish with cheese and sour cream, if you like.
