    A spin off of the restaurant favorite, this Panera turkey chili recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser! It's hearty and delicious for those colder months coming!

    A bowl of hearty, steaming Panera turkey chili recipe sits on a dark blue wooden table. The chili is a rich, deep red color and is filled with chunks of ground turkey, kidney beans, and other vegetables. A few Fritos corn chips are sprinkled on top, and a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese sits nearby. A vintage silver spoon rests in the bowl.

    The original Panera turkey chili recipe has so many ingredients in it! We simplified the recipe by using a seasoning packet and allowing you the option of adding in any extras that Panera offers. This version we made today is our family's Halloween night version which is a lot more meatier. I just have to add in edamame, carrots, corn and garbanzo beans to make it the Panera bread version!
