We love this simple & quick Turkey Chili recipe, especially on a cold, "chili" night! It's healthy, gluten-free and can even be dairy-free without adding the (optional) toppings. And it makes a great leftover for the next day!
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. ground turkey meat
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups of water
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup of sweet corn
1 teaspoon olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
Toppings (optional)
- Shredded cheddar or white American cheese (our fav!)
- Plain, non-fat greek yogurt (tastes just like sour cream, but healthier!)

2. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until turkey is fully cooked.
3. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper; stir and cook for 1 minute.
