JUMP TO RECIPE

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 diced medium onion
  • 2 diced celery stalks
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño peppers
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 14 1/2-ounce cans petite cut diced tomatoes
  • 1 15 1/2-ounce can red kidney beans
  • 1 15-ounce can pinto beans
  • 1 cup medium salsa
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions

Directions

Heat oil in large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until the turkey is browned, about 6 minutes. Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, jalapeño, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended and the chili begins to thicken, about 1 hour. Serve with the cheese and scallions.

This chili is GREAT, so much flavor... I made it while I have been on Weight Watchers and I have calculated 6 points for one serving.. my family loved it and I did not tell them that it was low in calories until they started raving about it.. My grandson ate three bowls of it..

Made it tonight. Great! Made a few substitutions. Couldn't find ground cummin so used cummin seeds and chooped them. Uesed fat free cheddar cheese and replaced rotel with chilies for the tomatoes and pickled peppers as I couldn't find the pickled peppers. Great anyways!
