Easy One Pot Turkey Chili

Did I get your attention? This is a great basic Turkey Chili Recipe.  This a South Beach Recipe and is super healthy and tasty!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (about 2 cloves)
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 can (15 ounce) beans, rinsed and drained (use your favorite)
1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.  Add onion and cook until softened, stirring often.  Add garlic and stir for about another minute.  Add turkey, chili powder, cumin, cook, stir often, until turkey is no longer pink and spices are well incorporated.  Add beans, tomatoes, broth, bring to boil.  Reduce to medium low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated.  Salt and pepper at the end to taste. 

This is the original recipe.  I use 1 tablespoon cumin, and I often add a can of corn or an extra can of beans.  I will also add a bell pepper if I have one on hand.  This doubles really well and is great for leftovers! Enjoy!
