Turkey Chili {Body Building Version}


I love this chili recipe I came across last week on the Body Building website.  It comes together so quickly and easily and is packed with protein (approximately 20-24 grams of protein per serving).  It's filling but doesn't leave me feeling heavy after I've eaten it... even after two servings (oops!).



Turkey Chili
Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients
1 lb. extra-lean ground turkey
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 tablespoon garlic powder
2 - 4oz cans diced green chilies
1 - 15oz can organic kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 - 15oz can organic black beans, rinsed and drained
1 - 8oz can tomato sauce
3/4 tablespoon brown sugar
3/4 tablespoon chili powder
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mustard (yellow or dijon work)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
fresh cilantro, optional
cheddar cheese, optional

Directions
In a large pot add onion and turkey, sprinkled with garlic powder and cook until no longer pink and cooked through.

Add the green chilies, beans, tomato sauce, brown sugar, and spices (except cilantro) and stir until combined.

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 10 minutes.  You can add some water if you would like it not so thick.

Add cilantro and a light sprinkle of cheese if you would like.  Serve hot.
