Turkey Chili (Easy 20 Minute Recipe)

I like to prep as much as I can in advance so this quick chili is perfect for tiring week nights when you just need to get dinner on the table fast. I start by precooking my ground turkey (93/7) on the weekends...preferably on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I buy 5 lbs. of Butterball ground turkey from Sam's and cook it all at once. I can get 6-7 freezer bags of 2 cup portions of the cooked ground turkey.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups ground turkey

1 red or yellow onion diced

1 can of dark red kidney beans

1 can of black beans

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes

1 can of crushed tomatoes (larger than 16 oz.)

2 TBSP cumin powder

1 TBSP chili powder

1 TBSP garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 TBSP olive oil or cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

In a large pot, heat olive oil or use cooking spray to sauté onions until translucent. Add precooked ground turkey (thawed if frozen). Add cumin, chili, and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper and mix seasonings well with the turkey and onions. Add red and black beans and stir mixture slowly.  Add diced and crushed tomatoes.  If mixture looks thick, then add up to half the can of crushed tomatoes with water. Cover with lid and let simmer for 15 minutes. Serve over rice, with tortilla chips, or crackers.

Serves 6-8
