Hearty Turkey Chili

This is another weight watchers recipe and it was so full of flavor I had to pass it along. The leftovers only lasted until the next day and Nick finished it off. I served it with homemade cornbread and Nick added Velveeta cheese to his.

Ingredients

cooking spray

1 tsp canola oil - I forgot to use this and didn't notice a difference

1 large onion - chopped

2 garlic cloves - minced

2 carrots - thinly sliced into rounds

1 lb lean ground turkey - I use Jennie-O extra lean and it wasn't too dry

2 TBSP chili powder

1 TBSP paprika

1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp ground cumin

2 tomatoes - chopped

1 c. canned tomato sauce - I used an entire 14.5 oz can

1 c. canned chicken broth - I used an entire 14.5 oz can

1 1/2 TBSP apple cider vinegar

15 oz can kidney beans - rinsed and drained

1 green pepper - chopped

salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Coat a large pot with cooking spray and place over medium heat

2. Add oil and onion - saute onion until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and carrots. Cook until garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add turkey - brown meat.

3. Add all remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil.

4. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until meat and veggies are tender - about 30-45 minutes.

5. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
