½teaspoonoregano - optional
Instructions
In a soup pot over medium heat, sauté onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery for 5 minutes.
Add ground turkey; cook until crumbled and no longer pink.
Stir in diced and crushed tomatoes, mushrooms, chili beans, and kidney beans. Bring to a boil.
Stir in a packet of chili seasoning. For a little extra heat and flavor, add in cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and oregano.
Reduce chili to a simmer, leaving the lid off to boil away excess liquid.
Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes to meld flavors.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t let the toppings get the best of you:Switch out the usual suspects with some healthier options, like a dollop of plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (you won’t notice the difference), low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, or chopped green onion for some extra flavor.
