Terrific Ground Turkey Chili For Athletes
Healthy ground turkey chili made with lean ground turkey, black kidney beans and tomatoes. A perfect weeknight dinner the whole family will love!
Ingredients
½ pound ground turkey (minced turkey)
2 medium garlic - minced
½ large yellow onion
2 stalks celery - chopped
½ medium green pepper (green capsicum) - diced
2 large Roma tomatoes - diced
½ cup carrots - shredded
1 can black beans - drained and rinsed
1 can green chilis (green chilli in British English) - (or 1 diced jalapeño)
1 can Neapolitan Sauce or Pasta sauce Southern Hemisphere (Tomato Sauce in North America)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes - or a few dashes of Tapatio
Instructions
- In a large skillet, saute the garlic and onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high. When the onion starts to brown, add the turkey meat and cook until no longer pink.
- From there, all you need to do is add the remaining ingredients! The celery takes a little longer to cook than everything else, so I would recommend boiling the chopped celery for a couple of minutes to soften before adding it to the skillet.
- Once everything is combined, reduce the temperature, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Voila! A Delish Terrific Turkey Chili Dinner!
Notes
Why do I say this is for athletes? The recipe is really for anyone, but it is chock-full of protein and vitamins, AND I was very conscious not to add too much salt or fat.
I love the diversity of chili. You could easily double the recipe if you have more hungry tummies to feed. Vegetarian?? Replace the ground turkey with pinto and/or kidney beans. You can easily add your own touches too. For example, corn or shredded cheese would be great additions! Speaking of corn, this would go so well with cornbread! Maybe next time I revisit this recipe, I will find a healthy cornbread recipe to go with it.
