Turkey Chili

If you are looking for an easy one-pot meal packed with protein...look no further!  I have become a huge fan of this Turkey Chili because...
1. I can make a ton of it at one time, and I have plenty of leftovers for the week.
2. It's super easy!
3. It tastes good, it's healthy, and it keeps me full for a long time.

Wanna know how to make it?  Here you go!


First, get all your ingredients together:



Next, get out a big pot and put 1 tbsp olive oil in the bottom.  Turn it up to medium heat and let the pan heat up for a couple minutes.  Then, add in all 3 packages of turkey and break it up with a spoon.  Keep stirring it around until it is all cooked.  On a side note...ground turkey doesn't "brown" like ground beef...it stays white...weird, I know.  Anyway...once the turkey is all cooked, drain off all the liquid.  Then add in some garlic salt, pepper, and sea salt.  Stir it all around and let it cook another couple minutes.



Next, add in both cans of crushed tomatoes and both packets of chili seasoning.  Then fill up one of the empty tomato cans about halfway with water and dump that in your pot.  Stir it around on medium heat until it starts to bubble, then turn it down to low and put a lid on it.  Let it sit as long as you want...the longer it sits, the more the flavors will come together!  I usually let mine cook for about 45 minutes to an hour.



Once you have let it sit and cook for a while, you need to add in the beans.  I always strain the liquid out of the beans and rinse them before adding.



Once you have stirred in the beans, cover it up and let it sit for about another 15 minutes or so.  That's it! 



Here's the nutritional breakdown per serving (makes 10 servings with about 1 1/4 cups of chili each)
• Calories:  310

You could eat it just like this or add on some toppings of your choice...shredded cheese, onions, etc.  

Enjoy!!! :)
