This is a perfect change of pace from the traditional chili recipes. It has a milder flavor with more garlic and onions than traditional chili. Just perfect with cornbread or tortillas or even garlic bread sticks too!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
4oz can diced green chilies
1 medium or large onion
3 cloves minced garlic
3 cans great northern beans, drained- divided
4 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
***1 Tablespoon Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy salt free seasoning- optional***
Directions:
In a medium stock pot, brown the ground turkey in the olive oil. Turkey is very lean and the olive oil is necessary in order to add a bit of fat in order to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once the ground turkey is done, drain if necessary and return to pot. Add the chopped onion, garlic, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and allow to cook until the onions and garlic are tender- about 10 mins.
While the meat and the spices are cooking, take one can of great northern beans and mash it into a paste. Smash the heck out of them and make 'em really smooth and creamy.
Add the chicken stock and smashed bean mush to the pot and stir well. Add the remaining cans beans and bring the chili to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, turn heat to low and allow to simmer for about 30 mins, stirring on occasion through this process. When done, you can add some extra spices if desired (I use the Mrs Dash Extra Spicy blend- it has no salt and adds a little bit of heat to the mix. Serve with shredded cheese of any kind and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
