This healthy turkey chili will blow you away! It's great to bring to pot-lucks and also great to satisfy your family! I've been making it for years and when fall and winter come around I get constant requests. When feeding a large party I will sometimes add macaroni or shell pasta and some cheese. I keep some in my fridge to have for lunch, dinner and a late night snack. It's a bit addictive! Adding cinnamon really rounds out the flavor and makes is a bit different from other recipes. If you are weak with spices, you may adjust accordingly. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground turkey |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 green bell pepper, sliced |
1 small yellow onion, sliced |
2 jalapenos, de-seeded and sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
3 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes |
1 (14 ounce) can pinto beans, drained |
2 (14 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, drained |
1 tablespoon paprika |
2 tablespoons chili powder (or 1 packet chili seasoning) |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine turkey, bell pepper, onion, oil, and garlic. You should always season as you go, so add a little salt and pepper, the crushed red pepper flakes, and paprika.
2. Cook over med-high heat till turkey is browned.
3. Add the diced tomatoes and beans along with the remaining ingredients.
4. Allow 45 min to 2 hours to simmer.
5. If desired, top with cheddar cheese and light sour cream. Serve with either cornbread or with buttered crakers.
