Chili is not only great when its snowy outside. We eat it on hot sunny days too. If you top it with fresh limes it might taste even refreshing!

What beans to use

This recipe calls for white beans, because its a white bean chili right? You can use any beans that are white or yellowish in color. Here are some of my favorite:

Navy beans. Contains most fiber- 19 grams per cups. Great in baked beans, soups and of course chili.
Cannellini beans. Also called white kidney beans because of its kidney like shape. Great for chili!

How to make ninja foodi white bean chili

This Ninja foodi white bean ground turkey chili can be made in a few easy steps. First brown the turkey. Its needed otherwise turkey will cook in one big piece. Add onions and garlic if using.

Second step is to add most of ingredients on to the pot and pressure cook it. It will only take about 15 minutes. Carefully release the pressure and open the lid.

Third step. Add cream cheese and shredded cheese and stir until desired consistency.

Chili comes out very creamy and delicious. I did it exactly like in the recipe and it turned out perfect.

Ingredient substitutions

To make it dairy free, use coconut cream instead of sour cream.
For a vegetarian option, double the amount of beans used and use vegetable stock instead of chicken broth.
To make it low carb, use chopped zucchinis instead of corn and you can also double the turkey and use less beans in the recipe.
Make it grain free, use chopped zucchinis instead of corn.

What do you serve with white bean chili

Good chili deserves great toppings! I have to admit that chili without toppings doesn’t get that deepness in flavor. You need some crunchy stuff on top too, don’t you?

Avocado. This is number one topping for almost every soup I make. Creamy delicious ripe avocado on top of a steamy bowl of chili, yum
Jalapenos. Add some kick by slicing raw jalapeño. So crunchy, juicy and vibrant. Slice raw crunchy jalapeño on top
Sour cream. Essential for every chili recipe in my opinion. Makes it more creamy
Cheese. Could be shredded or cut in cubes to melt. Stringy melted cheese on top of the bowl, yum!

Make it in crock pot or Instant pot

Instant pot is a pressure cooker so we will keep the recipe directions the same. My pressure cooker is a 6,5 qt and the recipe will work in a bigger pot too.

For slow cooker i recommend browning turkey first. Then add other ingredients (except cheese) to the pot and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours. Then stir cheese and cream cheese in and serve!
