Turkey Chili
Total Time:
1 hr 20 min
Prep:
20 min
Cook:
1 hr


1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 cup chopped sweet onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped yellow bell peppers
2 pound ground turkey
1 (28-ounce) can crushed organic tomatoes, undrained
4 (16-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic 
1 teaspoon chili powder
11/2 teaspoons sea salt

Directions
In a large skillet, saute onions, garlic and bell peppers in peanut oil over medium heat until onions are translucent. Add ground turkey and cook until browned.
Add cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips or avocado for a traditional Mexican garnish. Use soy instead of the turkey if you are going meatless.  Less

I prefer red kidney beans and .most of the time I cook them from scratch and then use them for chilli as needed but you can use chilli beans, black beans, pinto beans they all work well. They each change the taste of the chilli a it but they are all delicous. I often just forget the meat if that is one of my meatless days, or one of the days I save money by forgetting the meat.  You can also use ground round. I had it one night with grass fed ground beef. I did not like it as well but it was good I just prefer lean ground turkey.  

Corn Bread
Usually I make my corn bread from scratch but bought the salad and the corn bread and the beer at Safeway. They were yummy and I made the chilli the easy way. So dinner was ready in a snap
