Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the pot and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the drained cannellini beans, diced green chilies, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the chili to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen corn kernels and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the chili hot, garnished as desired.
