Healthy and Tasty Turkey Chili

Healthy and Tasty Turkey Chili


2 minute read

This heart-healthy take on classic chili utilizes ground lean ground turkey, instead of beef, in order to reduce the amount of fat and saturated fat in the recipe. A helpful tip: wash and rinse your beans before adding them to the chili. You'll cut down the starch and sodium that's found in canned beans, and you'll save your chili from becoming cloudy and super thick. Try out the recipe below and let us know what you think!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 lb lean ground Turkey
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) meatless pasta sauce
  • 1 can (16 ounces) hot chili beans, undrained
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • Optional toppings: Sour cream, cubed avocado, diced jalapeno peppers

Directions
