White Bean/Turkey Chili (Phase 2) E-mail
1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
2 lb. uncooked ground turkey breast
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
1 quart (32 oz.) fat free chicken broth
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. chili powder, chipotle variety
30 oz. canned white beans, rinsed and drained
3 TB fresh lime juice
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, coarsely chopped, plus extra for garnish

*I add a 4 oz. can of green chili peppers to mine.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Cook ground turkey, onion and garlic over medium-high heat until turkey is browned, about 10 minutes; drain off fat.

Add turkey mixture and remaining ingredients to a 3-1/2 quart or larger crock pot/slow cooker.

Cover and cook on LOW heat setting for at least 4 hours.

Yields about 1 cup per serving.

For additional color, top with extra freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.

Note: If the chili is too thick after its been frozen and then defrosted, add extra broth and then reheat to achieve desired consistency.
