One pan, thirty-one grams of protein, and exactly one thing to wash up afterwards. This is the chili we keep coming back to on a cold week, the kind that tastes like it simmered all day but is actually done in half an hour.

Lean turkey mince does the heavy lifting, the rice cooks right in the pot so it drinks up all the flavour, and the beans and corn round it out into something that genuinely fills you. Make it once and you've got four portions sorted, which is the whole point.

Comfort food that happens to fit your numbers. No trade-off required.

Cheese on top is optional but encouraged. Here's how it goes together.

Method

Brown the base. Heat the oil in a large pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes. Add the turkey and fry for about 5-6 minutes, until cooked through.

Add everything else. Stir in the spices, then the uncooked rice. Add the peppers, beans, corn, tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered on low for 17-20 minutes.

Melt and serve. Stir through the grated cheese, cover and heat for another 2 minutes until it melts, then serve.

Chef's tips

  • Dairy-free? Skip the cheese, or swap in a vegan one. The chili stands up fine without it.
  • Made for the week. This is a meal-prep staple. Divide into containers and lunches are sorted.
