Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili
Shanna Browning



1 lb ground turkey
1 large green pepper, pitted and seeded
1 medium red or white onion (I use red for more flavor)
2 cups (or 2 1⁄2 cups depending on what consistency you like) vegetable or chicken broth
2 cans black beans, drained and washed
1 can kidney or white beans, drained and washed
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic (or more if you like a lot!!)
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp Oregano
1 Tbsp Basil
Black pepper to taste



Chop green pepper and onion, mix into large pot/dutch oven with broth and tomato ingredients; turn on low. Heat olive oil and add fresh garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes and then add turkey. Cook until browned. Drain. Add turkey and remaining ingredients. Simmer on low for 1-2 hours to soften vegetables. Serve with chopped green onions, fat free sour cream and shredded cheese.
