TURKEY CHILI for the whole family

I don’t make chili often enough, but every time I do I’m reminded that - this is really quick and easy to make, and it’s so tasty! I know there are a lot of chili recipes out there in the world, but in case you’re looking for a new one, or just a reminder of what a hearty winter meal chili is - here you go!

If you can find frozen and chopped peppers at your local grocery store, use those instead of a fresh pepper. They’re much cheaper and are great for chili. Also, look for organic canned tomatoes, in BPA-free lined cans. The acidity in the tomato can leach the BPA from the can. Enjoy!

Turkey Chili

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

• 2 TBSP ghee

• 1 large onion, diced

• 1 large pepper (any color), diced

• 1-2 TBSP chilli powder

• 1 TBSP cumin

• 1 tsp. oregano

• 1 lb organic ground turkey

• 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed

• 1 can pinto beans, drained & rinsed

• 1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed

• 2, 14oz cans diced tomatoes

• 2 TBSP tomato paste

• Cilantro, chopped (optional)

• Green onions/scallions, chopped (optional)

• Cheddar cheese, (optional)

• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Melt ghee in a medium pot or dutch oven. Once melted, add diced onion and diced pepper, saute for 5-6 minutes.

2. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, and saute for another minute.

3. Add ground turkey, and saute until cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

4. Add beans, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Your chili may seem dry at first, but as the chili cooks, the tomatoes will release more liquid. If you need extra liquid, add a cup of bone broth or water.

5. Turn off heat. Serve with cilantro, green onion, and cheese if desired. Enjoy!

Notes:

• I use Eden Organic canned beans. The cans are BPA free and they cook the beans in kelp to make them easier to digest!

• I use the Muir Glen organic diced canned tomatoes, available at most grocery stores.

• This chili freezes well. Cook once, eat two, three or four times!
