Turkey Chili

DIRECTIONS

Cook onion: Place 1 cup chopped onion into large pot over medium heat. Cook 3-5 min, stirring occasionally. Add 1–2 tbsp water if sticking begins.

Brown turkey: Add ground turkey. Cook 5–7 min, breaking into small pieces with spatula, until no pink remains.

Build flavor: Add diced tomatoes, kidney beans, frozen corn, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Simmer: Bring mixture to gentle boil (large bubbles rapidly breaking the surface), then reduce heat to low. Simmer (small bubbles gently breaking the surface) for 10 min, stirring occasionally.

Season and serve: Stir in black pepper. Ladle 1 1⁄2 cup into each bowl. Top with fat-free shredded cheddar, nonfat Greek yogurt, chopped onions, and chives, if desired.

TIPS

For deeper flavor, let chili simmer an extra 10–15 min on low heat. Longer cook time helps spices fully develop and reduces need for added fat and salt.

If you have leftover chili, top a baked potato with it the next day.

Watching your sodium? Consider using kidney beans and diced tomatoes with no salt in the ingredients.
