Turkey Chili Perfect for a crisp Fall evening

Ingredients:

1 lb or more of extra lean ground turkey

1/2 to 1 red onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

3 cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1 small can corn, drained

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp crushed hot red pepper

1 jalapeno pepper, halved

1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup water

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:
Spray large pot with cooking spray on medium high heat. Add ground turkey. Ground into little bits as it cooks until lightly browned, approximately five minutes. Add onion and green pepper. Saute and mix with turkey for three minutes.

Add tomatoes, beans and corn. Mix, then add garlic, hot pepper and jalapeno pepper. Mix again, then add chicken broth and water. Add chili powder and cumin, then bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper.

Keep mixing with spoon. After pot boils, reduce to low heat and let simmer as long as needed, from 15 minutes to a couple of hours. The longer you simmer, the longer the flavors will mix. Yields 8 servings.

Cheers! Any wine will go well with this. For whites, try a slightly sweeter sauvingon blanc blend. For reds, try a light shiraz.
