3 Bean Turkey Chili

Another pretty sunset last night!

It's been chilly, so what better time to make some chili!? I tried a new chili recipe, and was a little worried since my husband and I really love the ones I usually make. We were both very pleased, and pleasantly surprised by the heat! No need to add extra hot sauce to this one!

Top this healthy, HOT chili with plain greek yogurt, a sprinkle of red onion and cilantro, (melted cheese if that's your thing), and you've got something really special.

 3 Bean Turkey Chili

• 1 pound ground turkey (I used 93% lean)
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (16 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chilies, drained
• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, undrained
• 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, undrained
• 1 (15.5 oz) can kidney beans, undrained
• 2 tbsp chili powder (use less if you don't want heat)
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (same here--use less/none if you don't want heat)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Brown the turkey and onions until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. 

Throw everything into the crock pot. Stir to combine all ingredients, set on high for 5-7 hours. Your home should be smelling spicy and flavorful, and your heart will be feeling warm and cozy as you enjoy a bowl of this savory chili.
