Delicious Turkey Chili Recipe

mmmm.... Turkey Chili

This recipe is one that I go to over and over. I call it a T.H.E. go-to because it is  Tasty, Healthy, and Easy.  I love to make this low calorie, healthy chili when the weather is cold. I make a big pot (have even doubled the 20-serving recipe) and freeze many smaller portions so it is always on hand.

I have been making this recipe for years.  I originally got this recipe from weight watchers (it's one point per serving). Following the recipe makes 20 servings.

One-Point Hearty Chili--

10 0z. extra lean ground turkey breast (I use 1 lb. or whatever is packaged)

1 medium onion, diced

2 (28- ounce) cans diced tomatoes

2 medium zucchini, diced

2 medium yellow squash, diced

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

2 (15-ounce) cans fat-free, reduced-sodium beef broth

4 celery stalks, diced

2 green bell peppers, diced

1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dry chili seasoning

Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Set over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and onion and saute until browned, about  5 minutes.

                                                                                                            Transfer the browned turkey and onion mixture to a large soup pot and add the tomatoes, zucchini, squash, beans, celery, bell peppers, and chili seasoning. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
