The Best Copycat Panera Turkey Chili Recipe

If you’ve eve been to Panera Bread, you know the intoxicating quality of their soups. That is why this Panera Turkey Chili Recipe is an absolute winner in my book! You can make your own turkey chili at home at fraction of the price!

Tips For Making The Best Panera Turkey Chili Recipe

  1. If you made dried beans yourself to save some cash, you can use either an old can that you saved or a can from something else to measure out the 15.5 ounce can of beans. Fill the can 3/4 full and you’ll have the right amount!
  2. If you don’t have fresh onion or jalapeno, consider adding 1 tablespoon of onion powder or a dash of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for some heat.
