This spicy hummus turkey chili is creamy, comforting and the perfect one-pot dinner for cold winter days.
After two weeks in Grenada and eating more fish in 15 days than I probably have in a year (seriously, they eat SO much fish. Even for breakfast…gag), I can’t tell you how delicious this pot of turkey chili tasted.
I accomplished two things yesterday: sleeping until noon (I have no idea why since Grenada was only one hour ahead, it’s not like I was six times zones away or something but it felt amazing) and cooking this turkey chili.
This perfect pot of creamy, cheesy, hummus-y, turkey goodness without anything even remotely resembling fish in it.
I love white chili. Maybe even more so than the usual red one because of its creamy factor.
The one thing I’m not a fan of though is the whole roux thing usually needed to get that creaminess.
So I had a thought: why not use hummus in the chili instead of a traditional roux for a way simpler, less ingredients spread out over the kitchen counter kind of alternative?
It totally worked.
Sabra’s Supremely Spicy Hummus was the perfect addition to this spicy turkey chili.
Between the jalapeños, red pepper flakes and the spicy hummus, this one packs a punch. Not overwhelmingly so, but definitely be ready for some heat with this recipe.
Consider yourself warned, spice haters.
You guys know how I loathe football, but I gotta say, this is pretty much the ultimate football food.
Pair it with some cornbread (this vegan cornbread or even some sweet potato cornbread both being great options) and enjoy!

How do you think this would taste with beef? I have ground beef on hand that is why I ask. But doesn't that not go with white beans? Or do you have a favorite beef chili recipe you could let me know about! Thanks!

This chili was fantastic! I have cooked chili so many ways and the hummus gives it a wonderful creamed texture and taste. Loved it!
