Turkey Chili Recipe

This recipe is from one of my clients and it is an all time favorite of mine that I’ve passed along to many others. 

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2.5 lbs 99% Fat Free Ground Turkey
• 1/2 Cup Onions, chopped
• 1 pkg. Organic Spice Chili Seasoning Mix (you can find it in the aisle where the ethnic foods are sold.)
• Extra Large Can of Tomato Sauce
• Extra Large Can of Diced Tomatoes, no salt added
• 1 12 oz can Black Beans (OR 1 Cup Cooked Brown Rice)
• 4 Ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated (for garnish)

Preparation:

In a large pot or skillet, saute onions in 1 Tbsp Olive Oil. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink. Add seasonings and remaining ingredients. Simmer to blend the flavors, or hold in a crock pot until ready to eat. Serve with 1/2 ounce of sharp cheddar cheese on top. Other low calorie toppings you can use are chopped scallions or cilantro.
