    Return turkey to pot and add the bay leaf, salsa verde, canned chiles, and broth, reduce heat to a low simmer, and cook gently, uncovered, for 45 minutes.

    Stir in beans and simmer gently for 20 minutes more.

    Serve chili in bowls and top with cilantro, onions, cheese, avocado, and/or sour cream. Or serve toppings on the side.
