Enjoy delicious and hearty turkey chili, a flavorful and protein-packed meal perfect for any occasion. Properly stored, this comforting dish can be savored for days, offering a convenient and healthy dining option.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 3–4 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated turkey chili at or below 4°C (40°F). For pantry storage of unopened canned chili, follow can instructions; typically cool, dry place.

Freezing

Turkey chili freezes exceptionally well, preserving its rich flavors and textures. Allow the chili to cool completely before portioning it into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. For best results, remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. To thaw, transfer the chili to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat it from frozen over low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. While freezing is excellent for preservation, the texture of beans might soften slightly upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off odor, distinct from its usual savory aroma.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the chili.
