Easy Turkey Chili

I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had much time to post recipes. There’s been a lot going on and I’ll be sure to share those with you. But for now I wanted to bring you a quick and simple turkey chili. Weather here on the east coast feels like summer, but before you know it the cold weather will be here in full effect. I hope you enjoy this warm bowl of happiness, which is great for football tailgates and parties.

Ingredients:

1/2 to 2 lbs ground turkey

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

8oz can tomato sauce

2 tbsp hili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp ground oregano

1 tsp salt & pepper, to taste

1 tsp cayenne pepper, to taste

1 15oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 15oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Shredded Cheddar, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Sour cream, for garnish

Preparation:

Place the onions in a large pot & sauté for 2 minutes or so until translucent. Next add ground Turkey and garlic. Cook over medium heat, until browned. Pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir and cover, and then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Finally add the beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with shredded Cheddar, green onions and sour cream.
