WW chili


I wanted to post a recipe that represents comfort food (especially on those snowy days like today) that actually is not too harmful to the hips. So here you go : "Hearty Turkey Chili"

For those who count points 1 cup = 4 pts. (There are 6 servings per batch)

Don't be scared away by the list of ingredients- it really is an easy recipe.


1 spray(s) cooking spray

1 tsp canola oil

1 large onion(s), chopped

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

2 medium carrot(s), thinly sliced into rounds

1 pound(s) lean ground turkey

2 tbsp chili powder

1 tbsp paprika

1 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp ground cumin

2 medium tomato(es), chopped

1 cup(s) canned tomato sauce

1 cup(s) canned chicken broth

1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 cup(s) cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 medium green pepper(s), chopped

1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste

1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), chopped

  • Coat a large pot with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add oil and onion; sauté onion until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and carrots; cook until garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Add turkey; brown meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Stir to break up lumps.

  • Add chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, cumin, tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, beans and green pepper; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; garnish with scallions. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
Enjoy!
