*All day Chili* in 30 minutes


What you need:

1 1/4 lbs Ground Turkey
15 oz can of Red Kidney Beans
15 oz can of Diced Tomatoes with Mild Green Chilies
15 oz can of No Salt Tomato Sauce
1/4 Chopped Onion
2 TBSP Olive Oil
2 1/2 TBSP Chili Mix
1/2 TBSP Salt
1/4 tsp Thyme
1/8 tsp Black Pepper

How you do it:

In a pot brown turkey, olive oil and onion on Med. High heat
Stir a few times to break it up, when there is no more pink
*Strain some of the liquid from the diced tomatoes and bean cans
Add your 3 cans and other ingredients
When you see bubbling, cover with lid
Turn down to Med. Low heat for 20 minutes

Why it's so good:

It's so EASY, and good chili could simmer for a while. I call it "All Day Chili" because it tastes like it's been on the stove all day, but it hasn't. The Diced Tomatoes are the secret, because that blend has been marinating together since they canned it. It has a little bite but you could defiantly add your favorite hot sauce to really turn up the heat. Serve it with the traditional corn bread and top it with cheese. Again, the turkey is lower fat so we add the olive oil, if you choose beef you don't need to add the oil.

Enjoy and Mangia Tutto!
