Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for about 45 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add Beans: After 45 minutes, add the white beans to the chili. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Final Touch: Discard the bay leaves from the chili.
Serve: Your Turkey Chili with White Beans is now ready to be served hot!

For an extra kick of heat, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
This chili tastes even better the next day, so feel free to make it ahead of time and let the flavors meld overnight.
