Dinnertime: Turkey Chili

This recipe actually comes from my bestie Crystal, but slightly modified by me. It's a very easy, crowd pleaser and takes about 30 minutes to make!

(Sorry for the photo quality - Matt had our good camera, so these are via iPhone.)

Ingredients

2 lbs. lean ground turkey

2 cans kidney beans

1 can black beans

2 cans tomatoes

1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

2 tablespoons of chili powder

2 teaspoons red pepper (ground not flakes)

2 tablespoons Texas Pete

salt and pepper

Season your turkey with a little extra chili powder, salt and pepper and cook over medium high heat, stirring often until brown.

While your turkey is cooking, drain your beans and toss into a large pot (or Dutch oven), along with the chili powder, Texas Pete, red pepper, broth and the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on a boil.

Drain your meat of the grease, and add to the Dutch oven. Reduce heat and cook on medium low for 20 minutes.

Serve with a few sides to add to your chili - sour cream, shredded cheese and Frito's are my favorite. I also leave the Texas Pete out for those who like it more spicy! Serves 4-6. Enjoy!

Alternates to the recipe:

A cup of frozen sweet corn is also good!

A small can of tomato paste makes it a thicker consistency.

White beans (1 can) are also good in the chili.
