Chilly weather....

For many of you, this winter has been more than just chilly!  It has been downright frigid!  Here, we have had colder temperatures than in the past few winters, so it has felt especially chilly to me!  So, it is time to cook some Chili!

Not a very pretty picture, but the chili really tastes good!:)

WHITE BEAN TURKEY CHILI
cooking spray
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp. chili powder, to your taste
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 1/2 pounds 99% lean ground turkey (may also use ground white meat chicken)
2 16-oz. cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup of fat free chicken broth
1/4 cup of fat free sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
- Heat a large heavy bottomed pot over medium flame.  When hot, spray oil.  Add onions, garlic, saute about 5 minutes.  Add meat and cook, breaking it up until white, about 5 minutes.  Add salt, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 2 minutes.  Add beans and broth; cook uncovered about 10 minutes
- Lower heat and cover, simmer about 45 minutes, mixing occasionally.  Add sour cream and cook 5 more minutes.  Adjust seasoning and salt to taste.
- Top with chopped red onion, chopped fresh cilantro,, light sour cream, jalapenos, and reduced fat cheddar, if desired.

With yet another wave of winter's cold coming our way once more this week, this will really taste good here!

I hope you have a good Monday!
