Here's another easy recipe using stuff from the pantry. (The only item from the ice box is the optional cheddar cheese.)

East Turkey Chili

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 (9.75 ounce) cans chunk turkey (or chicken)
2 cups chicken broth
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, canned turkey, tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, refried beans, garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve in bowls with a sprinkling of Cheddar cheese, if desired.
