OT: 4 Bean Turkey Chili Again

[DerHusker]

Well, since it seems we're not going to have football to talk about, I figured I'd post one of my recent cooks to alleviate the boredom.

I picked up 2 lb. of 98% fat free ground turkey breast the other day. I made some more of the 4 bean Turkey Chili I made a approximately a month ago with it but this time it was virtually free of points. (Only 1 WW Purple point per serving)

I diced up all the onions and peppers, mixed up the spices. Here are most of the ingredients.





1 ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil

2 lb. Pounds 98/7 Lean Ground Turkey

½ Yellow Onion (Diced)

½ Red Onion (Diced)

I Poblano Pepper (Diced)

1 Red Bell Pepper (Diced)

1 ½ Teaspoons Minced Garlic

1 6 Oz. Can Diced Green Chiles

1 15 Oz. Can Corn

1 15 Oz. Can Crushed Tomatoes

1 15 Oz. Can Tomato Sauce

1 15 Oz. Can Chili Beans

1 15 Oz. Can Black Beans

1 15 Oz. Can Dark Red Kidney Beans

1 15 Oz. Cannellini Beans

1 15 Oz. Can Chicken Broth

2 Tbsp. Chili Power

1 Tsp. Cumin

½ Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper

½ Tsp. Chipotle Pepper Power

½ Tsp. Black Pepper

½ Tsp. White Pepper

½ Tsp. Salt

¼ Tsp. Cinnamon

While I was prepping everything our new dog Lady came in to visit.



I got out my enameled Dutch oven and placed the OO. I put it on the side burner of my Gasser.



I put the Turkey in once it was heated up.



I cooked it until just slightly brown.



Next, I added the Poblano pepper, onions, Bell pepper and garlic. I covered this and cook it for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.



Once the veggies had softened,



I added in the spices and rest of the ingredients.









and mixed everything together.



I brought this to a boil and then covered. I turned the burner to low and let the chili simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.



Here it is after cooking.



Here it is in a bowl, garnished with onion, cilantro, some lime and some Non-Fat Greek yogurt.



This was delicious and only 1 point per serving. (A serving = 1 cup. This was a large bowl, so it was a double serving so 2 points) Eating like this makes me forget I'm losing weight.

Thanks for looking.

I'm one of those people who cannot stand cilantro - it tastes like straight soap to me!

Having said that, your dish looks beautiful and I'm sure it tastes delicious

Thank you HL1. I happen to love cilantro but I've heard that about 10% of the population reacts to it like you do. The chili would be good with just the diced onion and cheese.

Looked awesome until that last picture.

Good stuff derhusker as usual. Have to agree on the negative on the cilantro and probably wouldn't add yogart. However I do like to add sour cream to my chili.... not much different

When it comes to chili I'm a traditionalist.

And there MUST be cinnamon rolls involved!

It looks really good tbh. I'd have my doubts that a ground turkey chilly could beat a ground beef one.

Thanks huskerfan66. Since the wife and I are on WW, we try and reduce the fat content on everything we can. Fat Free Sour Cream just doesn't taste good so we're using Fat free Greek Yogurt. It's not as good as real sour cream but it will have to do for now until we reach our goal weight.

Thank you Alan. You're right that this would be better with ground beef. It would also be more WW points so that is why we're doing the turkey thing for now.

Makes sense. If I get brave enough I might have to give it a whirl. I keep coming back to look at it. Definitely a restaurant quality looking bowl.

It's too hot here to be cooking inside. Here in Eastern Washington it is suppose to be 98 on Saturday and that is going to be the cool day. The next three days at least 104. (We do have very low humidity) I am grilling. Burgers, salmon, pizza, tri-tip, whole chicken, wings. I have a Weber Genesis Gas Grill and use the rotisserie quite a bit. I like to use a rotisserie because you can put the food on the BBQ and walk away. Only have to check on the food every once in awhile. I've never burned whole chickens, wings or even tri-tip using the rotisserie.

Thank you Wasker. It's hot down here in LoCal this week but not quite that hot. The one time we were driving though eastern Washington it was hot just like what you're describing. Drove from Portland along the Columbia River until we got to Hwy 82 and took that north though Kennewick on our way to Coeur d'Alene. Almost thought we were in western Nebraska driving though some of that area.

I cooked this approximately a week ago when it wasn't quite as hot as it is now. I did cook it outside on my gas grill side burner so as not to heat the house up anymore than it gets on it's own.

I also have a rotisserie for it but I don't use my gas grill for to much now days. I do want to get a rotisserie for my Weber Kettle.

Looks very tasty. Wood smash with some hearty tortilla chips

Thank you c3o. A few tortilla chips would go great with this. On a baked potato is another one of my favorite ways of using it.

I am always up for some DerHusker food porn.

My own cooking adventures have been sidetracked lately, but I will try to post something soon.
