Doc's Chili (not my Doc! lol)

This chili is delicious & doesn't taste like any other chili I have ever had. I found it in The Biggest Loser Food Journal that I bought awile back. I love to put a little sour cream in mine, try it!

3 Cups chopped yellow onions

1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey (you can use ground beef it you prefer it but it isn't near as good for you & you can't tell the difference)

3 cups diced tomatoes or 1 can (28 ounces) roasted diced tomatoes drained

1 1/2 cups cooked pinto beans or 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed & drained

1 1/2 cups cooked black beans or 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed & drained

1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1/2 cup sliced olives (as a garnish on top if you like, not a necessity)

1/2 cup chopped scallions or chopped cilantro (again, a garnish so if you don't have them cook it anyway:)

Coat a large saucepan or Dutch oven with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the onions and cook over medium-high heat until soft.
Add the ground turkey and cook for about 6 minutes, or until no longer pink
Add the tomatoes, pinto and black beans, broth, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and mustard powder.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Garnish with the olive and scallions or cilantro

  2. What! Only 150 calories per serving! Bet that changes if I use ground beef :( Maybe I'll try the ground turkey after all! And I totally missed the cilantro! The best!
