Ingredients

1 1/2 bags dried kidney beans, softened1 pound 99% lean ground turkey breast1 package (5 links) Honeysuckle white hot Italian sausage links2 onions, chopped3 cups chopped green peppers (I used some hot ones too)28 oz can diced tomatoes4 14.5 oz no salt added cans diced tomatoes2 cups V8 juice1 cup dry barley3 tablespoons chili powder1 tablespoon garlic powder (didn't have any fresh)1 tablespoon ground cumin1.5 pounds chopped fresh tomatoes

Directions

Soften the dry kidney beans. Spray big pot (8 qt) with olive oil spray. Add onions and green peppers. Cook until softened. Add some of the garlic powder and cumin. Add the ground turkey and the turkey sausage links (I took the skins off and broke up the meat). Cook until browned. Add some more of the garlic powder and cumin. Pour in the cans of tomatoes and V8. Stir well. Bring to a gentle boil. Add barley and chili powder. Let cook a nice amount of time to blend the flavors (at least an hour to cook the barley, but longer is even better). Add kidney beans. Cook even longer. Ideally another hour. Good fall all afternoon cooking recipe. Oh...calories are based on 25 1 cup servings - if it turns out to be more - I'll make a change here.
