Homemade Chili with a Healthy Twist

This recipe is my moms! The only healthy twist I use and recommend is using no-salt added beans, tomato sauce, seasonings and using Extra Lean Ground Turkey from Jennie-O. Those small changes even in your chili can make a world of a difference!

Serves 4 people 
Time: 40 min

What You'll Need:
1/2 lb Extra Lean Jennie-O Ground Turkey (mine came to 7.7 oz)
1 can No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (I used Rotel)
1 can No Salt Added Tomato Sauce (I used Hunts)
1 can No Salt Added Chili Beans
1 can No Salt Added Black Beans
1 Large Yellow Onion
1 McCormick Chili Seasoning Packet 30% Reduced Sodium
1 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes

Directions:
1. In a medium sauce pan add thawed Ground Turkey and a Tbsp of Hot Pepper Flakes; cook thoroughly

2. In a large pot, add Tomato sauce, Chili beans and Chili Seasoning packet
3. Rinse Black Beans and add to pot

4. Dice Onion, keep aside
5. Once Ground Turkey is cooked, add it to the pot (you won't need to drain excess grease from the Ground Turkey because it doesn't have any!!)

6. In the same sauce pan you used for the ground turkey, spray non-fat cooking spray lightly, add Onions and saute for 5 min
*I like mine a little crunchy still:

7. Add Onions to the pot, mix well and set to simmer for 30 min

8. Enjoy!

*I like to add a pinch of Fat Free Cheddar Cheese by Kraft. Also if you like to add sour cream to your chili, I recommend you try 1 Tbsp of Plain Greek Yogurt instead.

**This makes about 8 cups worth!
