Amazing Clean Eating Chili

Sunday, February 15, 2009

My husband made an amazing chili this weekend. It was super fast and easy. I mean he made it himself so it had to be pretty easy. ;-) We made a giant pot, so this recipe could be halved and still feed 4 people I think.

2 packages Extra Lean Ground Turkey (2.5 lbs total)
1 envelope McCormick Low Sodium chili powder
2 cans Organic Red Kidney Beans rinsed well
2 cans Organic Tomato Paste
2 cans Organic Tomato Sauce (check label for added sugars)
1 large jar of chunky salsa (all natural, check label)

Reduced Fat Sour Cream (organic/all natural) - optional
Reduced Fat Cheese - optional
Beer - this isn't a clean eating choice, but I'm including it here because my husbands original recipe calls for it. We didn't use it last time. I didn't miss it.

Brown turkey in a large skillet. Add chili seasoning to the meat and stir in to coat meat with seasoning. The turkey will be dry because it is so lean, so I add a tablespoon of water to help the coating process.

In a large pot, combine all the other ingredients (including can of beer if you are going that route) and stir well. Then add the meat/seasoning mixure. Cook on medium high heat until mixture is hot, then reduce heat and simmer for an hour to two hours.

Top with cheese and sour cream if you wish. It does add something extra, but the chili is good by itself as well.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments! Just find it within yourself to dig down deep and decide what you really want for yourself. In the last 30 days of being on this I have seen some incredible changes, and it's only the beginning. I decided it was time to take care of myself, and that is my motivation!!
