Ryan’s Healthy Turkey Chili

This is my healthy Turkey Chili Recipe which was derived from my Dad’s chili recipe that I became well acquainted with growing up. Since I left the nest, I have continued to make and tweak this recipe while making it for friend and family. It has won chili cook-offs and turned many heads. It is a very simple recipe, but you won’t be disappointed.

Ingredients:

-4 cans Diced Tomatoes (regular or petite diced 14.5 ounce cans)
-2 cans of Red Kidney Beans (14.5 ounce)
-1 can of Tomato Sauce (14.5 ounce)
-1 medium yellow onion
-1 bell pepper (color of your choice but I usually use green or yellow)
-1 to 1.5 pounds of lean ground turkey
-Sliced pickled jalapenos (approximately 20 -30 slices is what I use)
-2 to 3 tbsp of juice from jalapeno jar
-Salt to taste
-3 to 4 tbsp of chili powder

Instructions:

– Dice onion and bell pepper
– Brown ground turkey, bell pepper, and onion together in skillet
– Drain Grease if there is any
– Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beans in crock pot or large sauce pan
– Add turkey/onion/bell pepper mix
– Add jalapeno slices and jalapeno juice
– Add salt to taste and chili powder
– Allow to cook on low heat until warmed through. It is now ready to eat, however, it is recommended that you cook it for several hours to allow the flavors to mingle. I usually put it in the crockpot in the morning and have it for dinner that evening.
