Wednesday Wellness: Healthy Recipe

Healthy Turkey Chili

I made this last night during the cold and wintery mix we were having here in Maryland.  It was a perfect night for something warm!  The chili was delicious, yet healthy, so I didn't feel bad eating it!

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground turkey (I used one pkg ~1.3 lbs)

2 cans diced tomatoes, low sodium

8 oz can tomato sauce, low sodium

2 cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, low sodium

1 green pepper, diced

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp chili powder

salt and pepper to taste

low fat cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions: 

1.  Brown turkey in pan and place in crock pot.

2.  Add rest of ingredients (except cheese) to crock pot.

3.  Cook on high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 8 hours.

4.  Top with cheese, if you prefer.

ENJOY!
