Slim Chili

Quick & Easy Slim Chili

This quantity makes a lot for two people. We usually get about 6 servings from one batch.
Like any good chili, it tastes even better the next day! Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1 package of extra lean ground turkey
1 can of mixed beans
1 can of black beans
1 jar of chunky salsa
1 green pepper
2 tablespoons of chili powder
Black pepper to taste
Grated low-fat cheddar cheese to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Add heart-healthy olive oil to a deep pan while it heats up, then add the meat, brown it and drain any excess fat.
2. Then add an entire jar of salsa (we prefer President’s Choice Mild Chunky Salsa for this recipe) to the meat and simmer for about 2 minutes.
3. Next, add the mixed beans and black beans—be sure to drain and rinse the beans before adding.
4. Mix beans in thoroughly, and then stir in the chili powder (for an extra kick, add chili flakes).
5. Simmer chili on medium heat (should be a bit bubbly) for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, and then lower heat, cover pan and leave it alone for about fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add black pepper to taste. Sometimes we grate on a bit of low-fat cheddar cheese.
