Turkey Chili (Shhhh!, it's good for you!)

Everyone has secrets. On occasion, I try to make healthier versions of the things my Mom was so good at, for instance Chili.  Mom would fry up hamburger, chop all the ingredients by hand, and it was always pretty amazing.  Me, I prefer to make it semi-homemade.  My way is quicker, but also very good.  I make it in one pot, there is not a lot of excess grease to drain off, and it's respectfully spicy.

Turkey Chili

1 lb lean ground turkey
2 cans Bush's Chili Beans
1 8 oz. can of Hunt's Tomato Sauce
1 can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis
2 jalapeño peppers
1/2 a green pepper
1 small onion
Assorted spices: cayenne, red chili powder, cilantro, garlic, oregano, and cumin. These need to be adjusted according to how spicy you like your chili.















Rough chop the peppers and onions. Brown the turkey and add the vegetables. Cook until the onions are translucent.






















Add the canned items.

Cook for at least 45 minutes on low heat until the chili is hot and bubbly.  Serve with cornbread, brown bread, or biscuits.
