Protein Packed Turkey Chili


This one is YUMMO! The following recipe is for a very thick chili. It's thick because my dietitian doesn't want me eating soup or anything that's liquified because it will go right through me and I'll be hungry again. Every WLS program is different, but this meets my dietary expectations.


Protein Packed Turkey Chili

2 lbs. Lean Ground Turkey (93/7)
1 can Chili Beans/Ranch Style Beans (don't drain)
1 can Black Beans, drained
1 can Stewed Tomatoes (don't drain)
Chili Powder to taste
Cumin to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
Salt to taste

Brown turkey meat in large pot (drain if needed). Add all beans and stewed tomatoes. Season to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours.

It's always better the second day. For those who are not dieting or WLS patients, they can add cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and enjoy with corn chips or corn bread.

Enjoy!
