Turkey Bean Chili

This chili was quick, easy, and delicious. I got the recipe from Cooking Light magazine's "Favorite 20 minute recipes" section. Usually I think of chili simmering for hours, so I was a bit skeptical that good chili could only take 20 minutes. To be honest, it took a bit longer to prep everything, and I let it simmer for about 30 minutes since I had the time. I'll be making it again for sure!

RECIPE:
1 cup red onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1+ lb ground turkey
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste
1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
14.5oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
14oz can low sodium chicken broth
fresh cilantro, chopped
lime wedges
avocado, chopped
sour cream
shredded cheese

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add first 4 ingredients; cook for 6 minutes or until turkey is done, stirring frequently to crumble. Stir in chili powder, and next 8 ingredients (through broth); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer at least 10 minutes. Top with your choice...avocado chunks, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, squeeze of lime. Enjoy! Makes 6 servings. (per serving: 211 cals, 6.5g fat, 16g carbs, 22.5g protein)
