Easy Turkey Chili

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 35 Min

Easy Turkey Chili is a light yet hearty chili that gives us the best of both worlds so we can enjoy healthier options without sacrificing the comforting tastes we crave in chili.

What You'll Need

1 pound ground turkey breast
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
3 (16-ounce) cans navy beans, no-salt-added rinsed and drained
2 (14-1/2-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, no-salt-added, coarsely chopped
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray. Add turkey, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, or until no pink remains in turkey, stirring occasionally to break it up.
Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer an additional 20 minutes.

Note

To make this a gluten-free recipe, use nonstick cooking spray with no flour added, and seasonings with no added starch from a gluten-containing source.
For added flavor and to give this a finished look, sprinkle each serving with additional chopped onion or top each with a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream or your favorite low-fat shredded cheese.
