Turkey and Black Bean Chili

If you’ve been reading my goals you know that one of my goals for 2019 is to find and make 20 new healthy recipes. Now I’ve shared recipes for chili before including my Beef and Beer Chili. However recently I was searching through some old weight watcher cookbooks and found a recipe for Turkey and Black Bean Chili. This recipe has six ingredients plus the spices and you can mix it up in under ½ hour. If you’re counting the new Freedom Points it is only 5 points, if you don’t add the sour cream and cheese it would be less. We enjoyed it with the additional toppings and it was delicious. Healthy recipes don’t have to be time consuming and this chili recipe is delicious and can be ready to serve in under an hour.

Turkey and Black Bean Chili

Ingredients:

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green or red pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
¾ pound ground turkey
1 (14.5oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (15oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. Dried oregano
½ tsp. Salt
½ cup. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
¼ cup fat free sour cream
¼ cup sliced scallions

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large non stick saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until softened. Add the turkey and cook until the turkey is no longer pink. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are very soft, about 30 minutes. Serve with the cheese, sour cream and scallions.

Make 4 servings.
