Remove to a small bowl and set aside. 2 Using the same pan, add the turkey, turkey sausage, ½ teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 8 minutes. 3 Return the vegetable mixture to the pot and add the diced tomatoes, all the beans, green chiles and chicken broth. Continue cooking at medium-high and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. 4 Serve the chili topped with cheese, sour cream and scallions.
