Simple Turkey Chili

The cold days keep coming and so do hot bowls of soup and chili at my house. Sometimes you don't have a lot of time and you want a dish you can make in thirty minutes or less that tastes like you spent the whole morning in the kitchen.

I made this one recently for a Saturday lunch. I used canned beans and canned tomatoes so prep time was greatly reduced. This recipe embodies how I like to cook - a dab of this and a dab of that - all to taste. So for all my spices in this one there aren't measurements. I hope you will enjoy experimenting with different amounts to find you own perfect blend just for you.

•  1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
• 2 cans pinto beans
• 1 can cannellini beans
• 1 quart canned tomatoes
• Paprika
• Chili powder
• Black pepper
• Onion powder
• Minced garlic
• Ground mustard
• Italian spice blend

Crumble turkey into frying pan. Add some chili powder. Cook over medium-high heat until fully cooked and scrambled. Transfer to large chili pot.






Add beans and tomatoes. Bring to boil. Lower heat. Add spices to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Ladle into bowls. Consider topping with shredded cheese and sour cream.
