AMAZING Turkey Chili

So I am on this kick to make some low calorie, meals. So I was cooking one day and came up with this great big pot of turkey chili. It was pretty yummy if I say so myself.  You need a very large pot, as this makes about 9-10 servings! You also need to either have 9-10 hungry mouths OR alot of room to store leftovers, they are great for lunch!

Looks delicious huh?
It only took me about an hour and a half to make, you can choose to cook longer though if you want the flavors to develop even more.

Ingredients:
2.5 Lbs ground turkey (can sub with beef)
2 medium yellow onions, diced
1 jalapeño,diced (can sub canned if you don't want to cut it yourself)
1-32 oz carton of chicken stock (can use water, or another type of stock)
2-14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes
2-6 oz cans of tomato paste
1-15 oz can of black beans (I used low sodium)
3 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flake
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste

On medium high heat brown the turkey. At this point you may choose to drain the fat depending on the % meat you got. I use the 85% Meat 15% Fat so I drain off a portion of the fat. Once the meat is browned add the diced onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until they begin to become translucent. Add the jalapeño and add all of the canned foods at this point along with the chicken stock, and spices. Stir to combine all ingredients. Bring up to boil and then reduce and simmer on a low heat for about 45-60 minutes. Literally it is THAT easy!

At this point serve it up! And hold the nothing! Serve this up with a dollop of sour cream, or some crispy tortilla strips or chips, add some sharp cheddar cheese and green onions, what ever your favorite chili toppings may be!


Enjoy, and don't forget to leave me your comments!
And as always, hold the nothing.
