This recipe is a combination of all the best ingredients from all the other turkey chili recipes I could find. If you like spicy, this is your turkey chili, however you can make it milder by adding less of the spicy ingredients. If you do Weight Watchers, it is only 2 points per cup (serving)! Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 1/2 bell peppers (diced, any color) |
1 medium onion (diced) |
4 garlic cloves (minced) |
6 ounces mushrooms (chopped) |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon cumin |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 bay leaf |
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes |
3/4 tablespoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (drained) |
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained) |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (do not drain) |
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (do not drain) |
1 (10 ounce) can rotel tomatoes (with chilis, do not drain) |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |

Directions:
1. Combine the oregano, black pepper, cumin, salt, onion powder, sugar, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and set aside.
