There's nothing better than wearing cozy pjs, cuddling up on the couch and watching a movie while eating a nice warm bowl of chili. Chili reminds me of winter and the Super Bowl and is a perfect meal to make for a crowd of people. Today, I'm sharing with you mine and my sisters recipe for our Lean Turkey Chili.
Start off by heating up a skillet at medium heat. Drizzle with one teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, then add one cup of diced white onions, three minced garlic cloves, half a cup of diced red bell peppers and two cups of chopped baby spinach. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the veggies are tender.
Next, add in one pound of extra lean ground turkey. Cook until the turkey has browned. You'll then transfer the mixture into a large pot and still on medium heat, add in a 28oz can of diced tomatoes, one and a half cups of kidney bean, one and a half cups of chickpeas, two teaspoons of chili powder, half a teaspoon of dried oregano, a quarter teaspoon of paprika, a dash of cayenne pepper, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
