Turkey Chili Just in Time for the Fall Weather
I love making some chili when the weather starts getting cool but I usually go with ground turkey rather then ground beef to keep it healthy. This dish is only 3 pts on Weight Watchers! I also make it all in one pot to keep from having to many plates to wash!
I first brown the ground turkey with diced up onion and garlic. I usually use 4 cloves of garlic and a whole onion.
Once that is all nice and brown, I'll start adding the other ingredients in.
I think the key to giving turkey chili a lot of flavor is half a can of hoppy beer like an IPA and 1/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot (I put that sh** on everything!).
I also like using sweet potatoes rather then regular potatoes to keep it a little on the healthy side. I dice up two medium sized sweet potatoes and a whole tomato and toss it in the pot. I also add 1/3 cup of pasta sauce (you can substitute canned tomatoes and tomato paste).
Once that starts bubbling nicely, I add the beer, hot sauce and spices.
I usually like to do chili powder, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic salt, black pepper and bay leaves.
then I cook all the beans in a strainer as I've found that there is usually a coating if you use them right out of the can.
I mix in the beans, the corn and let it all simmer on low heat for about and hour and a half.
Once its all done I like to garnish with shredded cheese and sour cream (additional pts on WW) and enjoy!
