Cook the carrots, onions, and celery in olive oil over medium heat until they start to soften.
Add the ground turkey and mushrooms, and continue to cook until the turkey is browned.
Add the broth, ½ cup water, tomatoes, beans, and spices and bring to a boil. (If you are serving to children, go easy on the spices, especially the chili powder. Add a little bit at a time and then test it. You can always have a bottle of hot sauce on the table if the adults want to make it spicier).
Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Add more water if needed.
Put the corn starch and 2 Tablespoons of water in a small container with a lid and shake to mix. Drizzle the flour mixture into the chili while stirring. Continue to stir until it is as thick as you’d like it to be.
Serve with dairy free cheese, chopped avocado, and crackers.
Notes
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for about 4 days.
