Suzy's Turkey Chili

To make this recipe quick and easy this is what I do:
1 large vidala onion, chopped or diced
1 green pepper, chopped or diced (this time I used whatever I had on hand)
1/2 lb. ground turkey 93% lean
1 can of mushrooms, drained
1 can of diced tomatoes, no salt
1 can light red kidney beans, drained
*You can add whatever else you'd like to veg. this thing up!

Add a small amount olive oil to a skillet to brown diced onions and green pepper. Add ground turkey to brown and scramble up fine. I add my seasonings around now by sprinkling a pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic salt, and paprika. Then I add in the drained canned mushrooms, and kidney beans. Add 1 whole can of stewed or diced tomatoes preferably without salt.*( You can substitute whole fresh diced tomatoes like romas say about 6. I have also made this with peeled and sliced yellow squash or zucchini added). I cover and let simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
We serve it over rice or I just add it straight in after its simmer the 20 to 30 minutes.
*My husband likes Minute Rice so this recipe is made with it. But I do have a steamer which I steam some long grained brown rice in to make a healthier alternative for myself.

This makes about 8 to 10 servings (1 cup)
At 10 servings that's only 179.2 calories going by the ingredients listed.

Experiment and have fun making this your own. During the summer months I add all different kinds of fresh veggies to this recipe to make a mouthwatering healthy meal for a few days.
