Warm Up with Turkey Chili

Hey, y'all! When it's  this c-h-i-l-l-y outside, I've found that there's simply no better way to warm up than with a simple, hearty bowl of turkey chili.



So I'm passing on this easy-peasey recipe [read: mucho healthy but extremely delish] my mama gave to me.

 

Mama D's Turkey Chili

What you'll need:

 1 jar of salsa [whatever  brand + hotness tickles your fancy]

1 can of tomato chunks

1 can of red kidney beans

1 can of black beans 

1/2 lb ground turkey

1 green bell pepper, chopped

desired seasonings

What to do:

Heat up some olive oil in a large skillet and bring to medium heat. 

Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for a few minutes [until tender].  

Dump in the ground turkey and brown the meat. Add any additional seasonings - chili powder, paprika, etc. Then stir repeatedly until cooked all the way through, turn off the heat, and set aside.

 Grab a large cooking pot and bring it to medium heat.

 Dump in the salsa, tomato chunks, and red beans. Bring to a boil, adding the cooked ground turkey, and stir occasionally.

Put a lid on it, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes.

Sprinkle on a little bit of cheese, a few scallions, a dollup of fat-free sour cream if you want to dress it up a little. Serve immediately and enjoy.

 

How much it makes:

 Serves 3 to 4. Feel free to double and triple the ingredients as needed.

Have a lovely afternoon,
