Turkey Chili Recipe
Chili is a warm and satisfying protein packed meal perfect for a cold winter evening! This is the way I like to make it and eat it. It’s quick and easy and can be cooked in as little as 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
2 lbs 93% lean turkey meat
1 large can of no salt added tomatoes (diced or puree)
2 cans of low sodium beans (dark red kidney, light red kidney , black or combo)
Spices: salt, red pepper, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and ground cumin
Optional Garnish: reduced fat cheese, diced scallions
Directions:
Brown turkey meat in pan.
Rinse and strain kidney beans.
Add sauce to browned meat, mix.
Add rinsed kidney beans to meat and sauce, mix and bring to a boil.
Add all seasonings on top as per taste preference and spice level desired. Lower heat, cover and let simmer for at least a half hour. The longer you cook the more flavor you get. Mix and taste to see if you need to add any more flavor before serving.
Optional: Garnish with low fat shredded cheddar cheese, scallions and serve with whole grain tortilla chips.
